Tomorrow, Tuesday, November 5 is the last day to vote in the 2024 Florida General Election. Polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
“If we want a truly representative government that of, by and for the people of Florida, we need to all participate by voting,” said Common Cause Florida executive director Amy Keith.
“We already saw record-breaking numbers of voters turn out across the state for Early Voting. Nearly 60% of Florida’s more than 13 million voters have already cast a ballot at early voting or by mail.
“With mis and disinformation rampant in this election, it’s crucial that voters share accurate and trusted information about our election process, such as information directly from the Supervisors of Elections. Now is the time to encourage those around you to get to the polls and cast their ballot.”
WHO: All Florida counties.

For voters who requested a vote-by-mail ballot:
If the voter still has their ballot:

For voters who have already returned their ballot:
- Voters can check to ensure their ballot was received through online trackers provided by most county supervisor of elections’ offices. Voters can also call their county supervisor of elections office to check their ballot status.

- Voters can vote in-person on Election Day at the correct precinct for their current residence. Voters can look up their precincts here.
If there is a problem with the voter’s signature on their vote-by-mail ballot, the voter will be contacted by election officials and has until 5 p.m. on Thursday, November 7 to submit the paperwork to correct their signature.
