WHAT/WHO IS ON THE BALLOT: News4Jax Voter’s Guide

Some voters didn’t wait to vote in person or choose not to go to a polling place. Nearly 4.3 million Florida voters had requested vote-by-mail ballots by Wednesday and more than 1.7 million have already returned their ballots.

Voting by mail is setting records this year as people try to take minimize trips and contact with others during the coronavirus pandemic. Mail-in ballots must be returned by 7 p.m. on the day of the primary, Aug. 18.

Early voting

Early voting uses the same voting equipment that is used at the polls on Election Day and voters can cast a ballot at any location in their county. Early voting ends the weekend before the primary election. On Election Day -- Aug. 18 -- voters can only cast a ballot at their assigned precincts.

In order to vote at the polls during early voting or on Election Day, citizens must show a current and valid picture and signature identification. (List of acceptable forms of photo identification) If your photo identification does not contain your signature, you will be required to show an additional form of identification that provides your signature.
