Your mail ballot is here: a quick guide to filling it out and getting it back on time
Florida mail ballots must be received by 7 PM on Nov. 3. Postmarks don't count.
Hi neighbor,
Mail ballots for the Nov. 3 election are arriving in Winter Springs this week, and a lot of neighbors are already voting. Here's a short, practical guide so yours counts.
Filling it out. Fill in each oval completely. In the City of Winter Springs Commissioner, District 2 race, that means filling in the oval next to Victoria Bruce if you're voting for her, as we hope you will. Then sign the back of the return envelope. If it's missing or doesn't match, your ballot can get flagged.
Getting it back. You have three options:
- Mail it early. One Forever stamp covers it.
- Drop it at a secure ballot drop box (the SOE calls it a Secure Ballot Intake Station) at any Seminole County early voting site, Oct. 19 to Nov. 1, 7 AM to 7 PM.
- Hand it in at the Supervisor of Elections office during business hours.
The deadline that matters. Florida mail ballots must be received by the Supervisor of Elections by 7 PM on Election Day, Tuesday, Nov. 3. Postmarks don't count. If you're mailing it, mail it this week.
Need a ballot or want to check on yours? The deadline to request a mail ballot is 5 PM on Thursday, Oct. 22. You can track your ballot online to see when it's mailed, received and accepted. You can also vote in person during early voting, Oct. 19 to Nov. 1, or on Election Day.
Thanks for voting, neighbor. Local races can be close, and every ballot counts.
Paid for and approved by Victoria Bruce, for Winter Springs City Commissioner, District 2.
