President Trump recently came out in support of Vote-by-Mail and Early In-Person Voting in states that allow it (Like Florida) - (Watch video)
This comes as Governor Ron DeSantis has also come out in support of Early Voting as well (Read) and won the Early Vote in 2022 (Vote-by-Mail + Early Voting)
REQUEST YOUR VOTE-BY-MAIL BALLOT
The FloridaGOP is asking you to request your Vote-by-Mail Ballot to ensure that you have a ballot automatically sent to you, which helps remind you of upcoming elections. After you receive your vote-by-mail ballot, you still have three options:
- Fill it out and return it by mail (all counties allow you to track your ballot, just like FedEx)
- Fill it out and drop it off at an Elections Office or Early Voting Location in your county.
- Do not fill out your vote-by-mail ballot, and instead, go vote in person.(Bring your blank vote-by-mail ballot with you to show that you have not filled it out)
My preference: I prefer to vote on Election Day. My wife and 3 girls go out for an early breakfast and are one of the first in line right at 7am before school drop off. With that said, both of us always request our vote-by-mail ballot, fill it out, and put it in our desk drawer just in case one of us has to unexpectedly go out of town.
With that in mind, if you are a Republican in Florida (Yes, even you Election Day-only voters) I am asking you to contact your County's Election Office RIGHT NOW to request your ballot over the phone. Find your county's number here > https://dos.elections.myflorida.com/supervisors/
Note: As Chairman of the Republican Party of Florida, I am committed to chasing every single Republican ballot. We will do this on Election Day AND during the critical Vote-By-Mail window and Early In-Person Voting days.
Thanks!

FloridaGOP Chairman

Please note:
- Dates and times subject to change.
- Florida is a "closed primary" state. That means only voters registered with a political party may vote in that party's Primary Election. You can change your party affiliation by submitting an updated Voter Registration Application at any time, but the change must be made 29 days before a Primary Election in order to be valid for that election. All registered voters, regardless of party affiliation, may vote on issues and nonpartisan races during a Primary Election. Your party does not affect your ballot for any election other than a Primary Election.
