Voters can drop-off a Vote-by-Mail ballot at any Early Voting site during voting hours. Each site has a secure ballot intake station (also known as a drop box) staffed by an election worker, so voters can return their Vote-by-Mail ballots directly to the Elections Office. The Elections Office must receive Vote-by-Mail ballots by 7 p.m. on Election Day, August 20 for them to be counted. Any ballots received after this deadline will not count, so voters are encouraged to return their ballots soon.
If a voter has not yet requested a Vote-by-Mail ballot, there is still time to do so. The deadline to request that a Primary Election ballot be mailed is this Thursday, August 8. After this deadline, and up to and including Election Day itself, voters can pick up their Vote-by-Mail ballot in person. Ballots can be picked up from the Elections Office at 2990-1 Apalachee Parkway or any Early Voting site. Voters can also have a family member or someone else they designate pick up a Vote-by-Mail ballot for them. Starting on August 10, if a voter wants to pick up a Vote-by-Mail ballot, they must list an emergency that prevents them from voting in person.
Voters with questions are encouraged to contact the Supervisor of Elections Office by email at Vote@LeonVotes.gov, or by phone at (850) 606-8683, Monday – Friday 8:30 a.m. – 5 p.m.
