Leon Supervisor of Elections encouraging voters to request vote-by-mail ballots
The 2026 elections are still months away but the Leon County Supervisor of Elections office is encouraging voters to request their vote-by-mail ballots now.
"Although the 2024 General Election concluded only a few months ago ... I encourage voters to also start preparing by requesting your Vote-By-Mail ballot today. This way, you can ensure you will receive your ballot for the 2026 Primary and General Elections," Supervisor of Elections for Leon County Mark Earley said in a news release.
A recent change in Florida law caused all vote-by-mail ballot requests to expire last year. That means any previous requests need to be renewed.
Earley's office is doing everything it can to remind local voters to check their status, spokesperson Alexandra Mosca said: "The Elections Office will initially email these voters, then follow up with a physical letter to voters who did not respond to the email, or who could not be sent it due to having no email address on file.
"This focused outreach ensures that voters who have shown an interest in voting by mail have the information they need to continue to do so."
A single ballot request covers all elections through the end of 2026, so it will apply to any special elections that may occur between now and the 2026 Primary Election.
