In a press release, the elections office said to mail the ballots at least a week before the election to ensure it arrives on time. Voters should also validate their information, signature and address. 

Voters should remember the following: 

  • Completely fill in the oval next to your choice on your ballot — do not circle or mark an “X” over the oval.  
  • If you make a mistake on your ballot, call the Supervisor of Elections Office at 352-374-5252.  
  • Be sure to sign your vote-by-mail ballot certificate envelope.  
  • Return your vote-by-mail ballot in the official envelope provided. Return postage is prepaid. 

The complete vote-by-mail ballots can also be dropped off from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday at the Supervisor of Elections Office (515 N. Main St.).
