3 Ways to Vote
Damage from Hurricane Ian may potentially disrupt the normal voting process for some residents. The first thing to understand is that there are three ways to vote in Florida: by mail (absentee), in person during early voting or on Election Day. We are here to help. Please contact us by calling 941.861.8618 and we will discuss the voting options available to you.
Vote by Mail
If you have requested a vote-by-mail ballot for the November 8 General Election and have been displaced by Hurricane Ian, you can:
- Visit your local United States Postal Service location to determine if your mail is being held. You can look up postal locations using the United States Postal Service Location Finder. We have also prepared a list that includes affected Sarasota County USPS locations and the zip codes they service.
- Contact our office to learn about updating your mailing address and requesting a replacement vote-by-mail ballot. Call 941.861.8618.
- Learn about alternate ways of voting. If you are currently unable to receive your vote-by-mail ballot, there are alternate ways to cast your vote. Learn more below.
Early Voting
There are 14 days of early voting in advance of the November 8 General Election. If you are having difficulty receiving your vote-by-mail ballot because of Hurricane Ian, a convenient alternative is in person early voting. Early voting begins Monday, October 24 and continues through Sunday, November 6, 8:30 a.m. – 6:30 p.m. daily at nine sites throughout Sarasota County. Learn more.
