If you voted by mail in Florida in 2024, there is an important step to take before the 2026 election. You will need to request a vote-by-mail ballot again. For the upcoming November 3 general election, the deadline to request that a ballot be mailed is reportedly October 22 2026. Once you receive it and fill it out, the ballot must be back with your county Supervisor of Elections by 7 p.m. on Election Day. So there are really two dates to keep in mind: October 22 to request the ballot and November 3 to get it back, as per a report by Florida Trib.
