Below are the actual regulations regarding Absentee voting in Florida.
First you have to request to vote Absentee and comply with these requirements:
Request a Vote-by-Mail Ballot
- Requests for vote-by-mail ballots must be received in your local Supervisor of Elections office no later than 5:00 pm on the 10th day before an election.
- Contact your local Supervisor of Elections to request a vote-by-mail ballot.
- You may request a vote-by-mail ballot in person, by mail, email, fax or by phone.
- Only the voter or a designated member or his or her immediate family or legal guardian can request a vote-by-mail ballot for the voter.
- Immediate family means the designee’s spouse, parent, child, grandparent or sibling of the designee or of the designee’s spouse.
- As a voter requesting a vote-by-mail ballot you must provide your:
- name
- address
- date of birth
- signature (written requests only)
- If an immediate family member or legal guardian is requesting a vote-by-mail ballot for you, that person must provide above information about the voter as well as the following:
- Requester's name
- Requester's address
- Requester's driver's license number (if available)
- Requester's relationship to voter
- Requester's signature (written requests only)
- Now once you have qualified for an Absentee vote:
- Your marked ballot must be mailed or delivered in person, reaching the Supervisor of Elections’ office not later than 7:00 pm on the day of the election.
- Do not return your voted mail ballot to a polling place.*
- You may designate someone to pick up your vote-by-mail ballot on Election Day or 9 days before Election Day.
- The designee may only pick up 2 vote-by-mail ballots per election, other than his or her own ballot or ballots for members of his or her immediate family.
- Designees must have written authorization from the voter, present a picture I.D. and sign an affidavit.
- Candidates may pick up vote-by-mail ballots only for members of their immediate family.
- If you decide to go to the polls to vote instead of voting by mail, you should bring the vote-by-mail ballot (marked or not) with you so that it can be cancelled at the polls.
- If you come to the polls without the vote-by-mail ballot, you can vote a regular ballot if the Supervisor of Elections' office can confirm that it has not received the vote-by-mail ballot. If it is confirmed that the Supervisor of Elections office has received the vote-by-mail ballot or it cannot be determined, you cannot vote a regular ballot at the polls.
- However, if you believe that you have not already voted, you will be allowed to vote a provisional ballot.
- A vote-by-mail ballot can be dropped off at designated secure drop boxes located at early voting sites during the election.
- Please contact your local Supervisor of Elections or refer to their website for the locations of all the vote-by-mail ballot secure drop boxes in your county.
NOW how the "Junk Mail-in Voting " works.
- All registered voters get a ballot mailed to the address originally registered.
- Regardless if they live at that address.
- Meaning anyone can get the ballot and can sign the ballot and return.
- (By the way I received a ballot at my address... put it back into outgoing mail box.)
Now how "JUNK Mail-in Voting" has worked already.
What Happened in New York’s Primary Could Happen to You in November
When Jada Yuan of the Washington Post tried to figure out what happened, she found two major problems:
- the length of time it’s taking to count the votes, and the
- high number of votes that are getting thrown out.
Compare that with 1.8 and 3 percent for Wisconsin and Georgia, respectively, which also held disastrous elections during the pandemic.
