Deadline to Request Vote-by-Mail Ballots

Pasco County, FL – Brian E. Corley, Supervisor of Elections, announces the last day for the elections’ office to mail vote-by-mail ballots is Thursday, March 7th.  Ballot requests received in the supervisor’s office by 5:00 p.m. on that day will be honored. Request a ballot on-line at PascoVotes.gov or call 800-851-8754.  

Ballots are available for pick-up at the three elections’ offices until early voting begins on Saturday, March 9th.  Florida Statutes does not allow for vote-by-mail ballots to be picked up in the supervisor’s office once early voting begins unless an emergency precludes the voter from voting early or going to their assigned polling place. An affidavit affirming the facts of the emergency will be required. 

Voters who wish to pick-up ballots on behalf of someone will need a written request from the voter designating them as the person authorized to carry out the ballot.  The designee will be asked to provide photo identification and complete an affidavit before the ballot will be released.  

All voted ballots must be in the elections’ office by 7:00 p.m. Election Day, Tuesday, March 19th, including ballots being delivered by the United States Postal Service.  Ballot drop-off will be available at all 12 Early Voting Sites during the Early Voting period March 9th – March 16th and voted ballots may be hand delivered to any of the three Supervisor of Elections’ Offices in Pasco County by the 7:00 p.m. Election Day deadline.  Voted ballots may not be turned in at the polls on Election Day. Visit PascoVotes.gov for Early Voting and office locations.  Voters can check the status of their vote-by-mail ballot at https://pascovotes.ballottrax.net/voter/.
