Update on Election Services Following Hurricane Helene

This webpage will serve as a source of relevant updates for all voters affected by the storm.

 

Our Offices 

All three of our offices are fully operational with normal business hours from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. 

 

Mail Ballots

Mail ballots were mailed on October 1, 2024, to ensure that all eligible voters who requested a ballot will have it before the legally mandated deadline.

 

If you are in an area that is currently not receiving mail delivery, the post office servicing your zip code will hold mail for residents to pick up. Please see the United States Post Office Service Alerts for further details, as some post office locations have changed.

 

Registered voters affected by the hurricane do not need to update their residential address if they are temporarily displaced. If you are receiving your mail at a different address other than your residential address, contact us at 727-464-VOTE (8683).

 

Voters can return their ballots one of the following ways:


• Mail it back with the postage-paid envelope;
• Return it to a secure ballot return location. The locations, dates and times are still to be determined;
• Return it to one of our three offices.

 

Voted mail ballots must be received at one of the three Supervisor of Elections Offices by 7 p.m. on Election Day. Voters are advised to allow at least ONE WEEK for their ballot to be returned by mail to the Supervisor of Elections Office.


If you need to request a mail ballot, complete this online form by 5:00 p.m. on October 24.

 

Early Voting Sites and Secure Ballot Return Locations

We are currently assessing the status of all early voting sites and secure ballot return locations. Updates on their availability and any necessary adjustments will be provided as soon as possible.

 

Polling Places

Our teams are actively reaching out to polling places and conducting damage assessments throughout the county. Preliminary evaluations indicate that up to 40 polling locations may have sustained significant damage and could require relocation. We are diligently working to identify suitable alternative sites and will keep you informed of any changes.

 

Poll Worker Training

We are contacting all poll workers to update them on the situation. Necessary training classes are being rescheduled to ensure that our team is fully prepared to facilitate a smooth election process. For questions call 727-464-6110.

 

Stay Informed

Your patience and understanding are greatly appreciated as we navigate these challenges. The latest storm related updates will be posted on this webpage, and you can always call us at 727-464- VOTE (8683).
