Can I Vote By Mail?

If you have not yet returned your vote-by-mail ballot, you can drop it off this weekend at one of the early voting locations shown above during early voting hours. On Tuesday, November 16th - the last day to vote - you can only drop off a vote-by-mail ballot at the office of the County Supervisor of Elections in Doral or at the Stephen P. Clark Center downtown.

It is too late to mail a vote-by-mail ballot back in, and you cannot drop one off at your local precinct on Tuesday. If the Supervisor has not yet received your vote-by-mail ballot for whatever reason, you can vote in person at the early voting centers over the weekend or at your regular precinct on Tuesday.

Remember to bring your ID!
