How to Vote in Person if Vote-by-Mail Ballot was Requested:
A voter who has requested a ballot may still vote in person. The voter should bring the ballot (marked or unmarked) to the polls to turn the ballot in and vote a regular ballot. If the voter does not bring the ballot to the polls for whatever reason, the Duval County Supervisor of Elections’ office will need to confirm that the ballot has not already been returned and received. If the ballot has not been received, the voter will be allowed to vote a regular ballot. If the ballot has been received, the ballot is deemed cast and the voter to have voted. If the voter believes the office is incorrect for whatever reason, the voter is allowed to vote a provisional ballot.
Early Voting for the Special Unitary Election will run for 8-days (Saturday, February 12th –Â Sunday, February 20th). Voters will be able to vote at early voting sites across the county, from 10am – 6pm.Â
