Vote By Mail - Important Changes Made By Senate Bill 90

Request your mail-in ballot here … https://www.votealachua.com/Voters/Vote-by-Mail

1. Anyone who does not have either their last 4 digits of their Social Security Number, or their Florida Driver's License / Florida ID# on file with our office will not be able to make a vote-by-mail request over the phone, or online. Most of these voters would have registered 15 to 20 years ago, before this information was recorded in our databases. You can solve this problem by updating your voter registration. You can follow the link to do it online here. Or you can fill out a Voter Registration Application and mail it in (for Spanish, click here). A voter registration application is also accessible here under the "Miscellaneous" heading.

 

2. You must now renew your request every two years! Pursuant to Florida Statutes §101.62(a), the maximum amount of time your request can be honored is "[f]or all elections through the end of the calendar year of the next regularly scheduled general election." In other words, please be sure to renew your request for a vote-by-mail ballot at the beginning of each odd-numbered year.
