If you voted by mail in the 2024 general election, please be aware that your registrations expired as of December 31, 2024.  Under Florida law, no voter in Florida was automatically re-enrolled for the coming general election scheduled for November 3, 2026.

 

Note: the 2026 Florida primaries will take place on August 18th. 

 

So get ready to vote by reinstating your VBM status without delay.  Remember that being a mail voter does not prevent you from showing up to vote in person. It's like insurance.

​

VBM voters are among the most reliable participants in our elections.  And with the crucial Sarasota County School Board primary election taking August 18, it is especially important to make a plan now.
