If you are
changing your party affiliation from what is on record, you should
not request an Absentee Ballot online or via e-mail. Per
Florida Statute 97.1031, a completed voter registration
application must be completed and submitted indicating a
change in party affiliation by the book closing date of
the election in question. A voter registration
application can be completed prior to ordering the
absentee ballot or at the same time as the request. If your name
has changed since you last voted, you should not request an Absentee
Ballot online or via e-mail. A completed voter registration
application must be completed and submitted indicating a
name change. A voter registration application can be
completed prior to ordering the absentee ballot or at
the same time as the request. |
In person
You may vote an absentee ballot in person by visiting the
Department of Elections at the Historic Courthouse, 125 W. New
York Avenue, Deland. Absentee ballots are typically
available
3-4 weeks prior to an election.
You must bring signed picture
identification
with you.
It is a good idea to call before coming to our
office
to
make sure that ballots
are available.
You may also
come to our office and request an absentee ballot to take home with you to
complete at your convenience. When done, you can mail it back or return to
our office in the sealed envelope we gave you for this purpose. If
mailing, please note the completed ballot must reach the Department of Elections by 7
p.m. Election Day in order to be
counted.

another
person to pickup a ballot for him/her from the Department of
Elections or from an early voting site when in operation. This designation must be in writing
and must
be signed by the voter.
The designee must be mentioned
by name and if he/she is a
member of the voter's immediate family, the relationship to the
voter must
be stated.
The voter may use a plain piece of paper for this purpose or he/she may
use
the on-line
Absentee Ballot Designee form.
The designee must
show a photo and signature identification and complete an "Affidavit
for a
Designee to Obtain an Absentee Ballot" form (which will be
provided for them at the Department) before he/she may
pick up a ballot.
