Requesting your ballot

It is important that requests for absentee ballots be received in a timely manner in order to allow adequate time for the
request to be processed and the ballot sent.  Military stateside voters may register to vote and/or request absentee ballots with a Federal Post Card Application (FPCA) which is available from the Unit Voting Officer, or an Online Voter Registration/Absentee Ballot Request may be completed, printed, signed, and then mailed to the address below.  
     
You may also make your request by clicking the icon to the right or by mail, fax or e-mail.  The following must be included in the request: 

• the name of the voter requesting the ballot,
• the voter's county of legal residence in Florida,

• indicate which method you wish your ballot to be delivered:                                             
  1) If ballot is to be mailed, an out-of-county mailing address, OR                             
  2) If ballot is to be faxed, a fax number and an out-of-county address (only for purposes of affirming absence from county), OR
  3) If ballot is to be transmitted by e-mail, your e-mail address and out-of-county address (only for purposes of affirming absence from county).

You may return you voted absentee ballot either by mail, in person or through someone else on behalf of the voter .  Any voted ballots returned by regular e-mail or fax will not be counted.
