Request Vote-by-Mail Ballots Now

Senate Bill 90, which passed in 2020, changed the availability for voters to request a ballot for up to two election cycles (or four years). Now, voters must request their Vote-by-Mail ballots each year for the upcoming election cycle. Ballots that were already requested for 2022 were grandfathered in, but the requests expired on 12/31/2022.

The Collier County Elections office has already started outreach to voters who have voted by mail in the past to re-up their ballot requests and plans to include information on the Notice of Election that will be sent to all active voters later this year with a call to action to request their Vote-by-Mail ballots.

Around this time of year prior to SB 90, there would have been somewhere around 50,000-60,000 requests on file for Vote-by-Mail ballots. Today, here are the numbers for each election so far…

20,582 for the Presidential Preference Primary (March)

20,544 for the Primary Election (August)

20,633 for the General Election (November)
