Elections office: Mail ballots expired in December
Lee County Elections wants to ensure voters are aware that all previous Vote-by-Mail Ballot requests expired as of December due to a change in Florida law. As a result, voters who plan to vote by mail in 2024 must submit a new request to the office.
“The change in the law marks an unprecedented event for our office. We have a significantly low number of Vote-by-Mail requests compared to previous years,” Supervisor of Elections Tommy Doyle said. “Our office began a proactive campaign earlier this year ahead of the 2024 election cycle in our effort to inform voters of this change and ensure voting accessibility for all.”
Voting by mail is a safe, secure and convenient voting method. Voters are encouraged to act now and submit their Vote-by-Mail requests before the 2024 election cycle to ensure their voices are heard.
Vote-by-Mail Ballot requests can be made online at https://www.lee.vote/, by mail, e-mail or fax, or in person at any one of the branch office locations. New requests are valid through December 2024.
