IMPORTANT TIPS AS
GENERAL ELECTION APPROACHES
Supervisor of Elections Ann McFall asks voters to pay
attention to the following tips as the General Election
approaches:
Running out of time
Worried about your absentee ballot not making it to
the Supervisor of Elections office by Election Day? There is an
alternative solution. Completed absentee ballots can be accepted
at any of the early voting sites through November 4. Early
voting sites are located at the Deltona, New Smyrna Beach and
Daytona Beach Regional Libraries and the Supervisor of Elections
office located at 125 W. New York Avenue, DeLand. Hours and days
of operation of all early voting sites are 8am to 4pm Monday
through Saturday. Absentee ballots must either be dropped off at
early voting sites by 4 pm on November 4 or at the Supervisor of
Elections office in Deland by 7pm Election Day November 7 in
order to be counted. Please ensure you have signed the voter’s
certificate on the back of the absentee envelope.
Second changes
If you have made a mistake on your absentee ballot
and would like another one, or you have decided not to vote by
absentee, you can bring your ballot to any of the early voting
sites when in operation or at your designated precinct on
Election Day. In both instances the ballot will be cancelled and
you will be given the opportunity to request another one or
choose to vote by another method. Ballots returned to precincts
cannot be counted, but can be cancelled and the voter will be
issued another ballot to vote.
Identification cards
It is not necessary to have in your possession a
voter information card in order to vote. Voters are asked to
please bring photo and signature ID to the polls or early voting
sites. If you do not bring both signature and picture ID, you
will be allowed to vote a provisional ballot. Most widely used
forms of identification for voting is a Florida Drivers License
or a Florida State ID card because it satisfies both the
signature and picture requirement.
