Vote By Mail

Per 101.62, F.S., vote-by-mail ballot requests are valid for all elections through the end of the calendar year of the next regularly scheduled general election. Select one of the options below to submit a vote-by-mail request through 2024.
 

Requesting Your Ballot


Voters with disabilities: Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessible voting options are available to voters who are blind or with disabilities. Please call 941.861.8618 for assistance.

 

You may return your vote-by-mail ballot by mail or in person. If you mail your ballot, allow at least one week for your ballot to reach our office. You may also return your ballot in person to a secure ballot intake station located inside any of our three elections offices or at an early voting location during hours of operation (early voting dates, hours and locations will be posted prior to each election).

Your Signature is Important
You must sign the Voter’s Certificate on the ballot return envelope and return the ballot promptly so that it reaches our office no later than 7 p.m. on election day. In the event there is an issue with your signature on the certificate, elections staff will attempt to contact you. There is space on the ballot return envelope for you to voluntarily provide your contact information. A vote-by-mail ballot will NOT be rejected solely due to the absence of this requested contact information.  

If you return your ballot without signing the Voter’s Certificate or are notified by us that your signature on the certificate does not match your signature on file with the elections office, you will need to complete and return a vote-by-mail cure affidavit (English/Español) to the elections office by 5 p.m. on the second day following the election.
