Important dates to know concerning voting from the League of Women Voters

Sept. 24 – Oct. 1

Supervisor of Elections (SOE) office mails Vote-By-Mail (VBM) ballots, IF you have requested one in advance. Remember, your ballot may not be mailed until the last day of the mailing period, and then it may take three to five days before it actually arrives at your house.

Oct. 5

Last day to register to vote for Nov. 3 election at www.RegisterToVoteFlorida.gov. Online registration takes two minutes. To register online, you must have a drivers license or a Florida Identification Card issued by the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles. If you get down to the wire, you have until midnight on Monday Oct. 5 to register. But do it now!

Oct. 19

Last day for safely returning your Vote-By-Mail ballot via the U.S. Postal Service (return envelope is prepaid). After this date, it would be best to drop-off your VBM ballot (in its return envelope) at one of the 22 early voting sites. VBM ballots must be received, not postmarked, at the SOE by 7 p.m. on Nov. 3. Request Vote By Mail ballot here. Remember: SIGN the outside of the return envelope.

Oct. 19 – Nov. 1

Early voting period from 7 a.m. – 7 p.m. at 22 early voting sites across Broward County. Bring your identification with photo and signature. You can vote at any early voting site.

Oct. 24

Last day to request that a Vote-By-Mail ballot be mailed to you. But, do not return it to the SOE by mail. Return it to an early voting site, as it is too late to safely mail the ballot. VBM ballots must be received, not postmarked, at the Supervisor of Elections offices by 7 p.m. on Nov. 3. Request Vote By Mail ballot here.

Nov. 3

Election day. Still haven’t voted? You must go to your precinct. And, if you still want to return your completed Vote-By-Mail ballot, you must take it to the Supervisor of Elections offices by 7 pm. VBM ballots will not be accepted at any precinct.
