Your Ballot to Vote your Way
Visit VolusiaElections.gov > Elections ... locate the Vote-by-Mail request ... complete it to have your ballot delivered to your home ... and you'll still have a choice to vote in one of three ways.
- You can review your ballot at home and then vote in person at your precinct on election day or at an early voting precinct during early voting days.
- Or you can complete your ballot at home and hand-deliver it to a secure early voting drop box.
- Or you can review, complete and then mail your ballot through the post office.
Even if you know you want to vote in person, having your ballot delivered at home is a good back up plan in case you cannot get to the polls. The method also allows you to track it from start-to-finish.
