Returning a Vote-by-Mail Ballot

For your convenience, return postage for your Vote-by-Mail ballot is paid for by the Lee County Supervisor of Elections Office. 

If you would prefer that your ballot be hand-delivered, you or someone you choose may return your ballot to any branch office location no later than 3:00 pm on Election Day. After 3:00 pm, but no later than 7:00 pm, on Election Day, Vote-by-Mail ballots may ONLY be returned to the Main Office.  

Or, during Early Voting, you may drop off your ballot at an authorized, secure drop-box located at each early voting location. (Early Voting Information)

You may NOT return your Vote-by-Mail ballot to your polling place on election day. However, you MAY surrender your ballot and vote in person. 

Florida is a Closed Primary State

When registering to vote or changing your party affiliation, it is important to know that Florida is a closed primary state. This means that, in a Primary Election, voters not registered with a major political party may not have any candidates to vote for, and may only be able to vote on non-partisan candidates or issues that may appear on their ballot.
