How to Deliver Your Absentee Ballot?

I know that this election season has been difficult, particularly in trying to vote. Many have spent hours on line waiting to Early Vote. Others will wait until Nov. 4 to vote. For those that are voting Absentee, you may have questions concerning how to make sure your ballot gets to the Supervisor of Elections on time. It must be at the Supervisors' office by 7 PM on Tuesday, Nov. 4 to be counted (however, see below on specific times for the Lauderhill Mall).

On this you have several choices. First of all you can mail it in. But if it is not on time, it won't count. At this point, to mail it in on Monday, and expect it to be there by Tuesday may not work. This leaves you with two choices:

1) You can take it to your regular precinct on Nov. 4, and turn it in for a regular ballot (which kind of defeated the point in the first place), or

2) You can hand deliver the ballot to the Supervisor of Elections office. This is not the same as the precinct. The nearest SOE office is in the BACK OF THE LAUDERHILL MALL. This is not the place where the Early Voting Precinct is. Drive to the back of the Mall. You make not only bring your own ballot, but that of anyone else you would like. You must deliver it there by 5 PM on Monday. There is also a SOE office in downtown Ft. Lauderdale if that is more convenient to you, and they will accept them up until 7 PM on Tuesday.

For any other information, contact the Supervisor of Elections office directly. Otherwise, thanks for voting.
