November 5, 2024 General Election FAQs: Hurricane Milton/Helene Impacts
Can I still request a vote-by-mail ballot for the November 5 General Election?
Yes. Voters in Florida have until 5 p.m. Thursday, October 24 to request a vote-by-mail ballot be mailed to them. Individuals should visit the Vote-by- Mail section of PascoVotes.gov for more information and to submit a request.
What should I do if I was displaced by the storm or if mail is undeliverable at my residence?
USPS reports that vote-by-mail ballots are being delivered where possible; VBM ballots that cannot be delivered are being held at the voter's local post office for pick up. Pasco County voters who were affected by the recent storms and are concerned about receiving their vote-by mail ballots may contact our office at 800-851-8754 for assistance.
What is the status of the early voting and election day polling locations?
Prior to Hurricane Milton, elections office staff were in the process of evaluating early voting and election day polling locations after Hurricane Helene. We have completed our post Hurricane Milton assessments and while we have several locations with damage, we feel confident that we will be able to conduct Early Voting and Election Day Polling Places as normal. If any early voting site is not usable for the November 5 General Election, that information will be posted on PascoVotes.gov If an election day polling location is not usable, an alternate site will be selected and affected voters will be notified by mail. These changes will also be publicly noticed on PascoVotes.gov
