Under current Florida Laws, Vote-by-Mail requests are valid through the end of the calendar year of the next regularly scheduled general election. Voters who wish to receive a Vote-by-Mail ballot for 2023 through 2024 elections are required to complete a new Vote-by-Mail ballot request.

Según las leyes actuales de Florida, las solicitudes de voto por correo son válidas hasta el final del año calendario de la próxima elección general programada regularmente. Los votantes que deseen recibir una boleta de voto por correo para las elecciones de 2023 a 2024 deben completar una nueva solicitud de boleta de voto por correo. 

Vote-by-Mail refers to voting a ballot received by mail or picked up during the designated days for a voter instead of going to the polls to vote during early voting or election day. Any registered voter can vote by mail.

If you are presently registered to vote in Broward County, you may request a Vote-by-Mail ballot online (see link below). You may also request a ballot by email, fax, phone or mail.

Why:  In 2021, Florida legislators passed a new law that changed the basic rule for mail-in ballots. Previously, a Florida voter's request for a mail-in ballot would be good for two general election cycles, meaning a new request would not be needed for four years. The new law reduces that duration to once per general election cycle, or every two years.
