FL: Mail-in-ballots begin to go out to voters who requested them Thursday
Jacksonville FL — Voting season is here. Starting Thursday mail-in-ballots will start to be sent out to voters who’ve requested them in Florida. In Duval County, Supervisor of Elections Mike Hogan says they plan to send out a little more than 138,000 ballots initially during the first drop.
“It’s the most we’ve ever sent out on the first drop.” Hogan says.
You can still request a mail-in-ballot, you have until October 24th to do so. He says he would not be surprised if they get up to 150,000 requests for mail-in-ballots. So how do those numbers stack up against other recent elections? Hogan says in the 2020 primary they sent out a total of 113,000 ballots and in the 2016 general election they sent out a total of 103,000 mail-in-ballots.
Hogan suggests mailing back the ballots as soon as you get them.
“I’m really begging that they just turn that rascal around and send it right back in. The longer you wait the more hazards you might have to contend with.” Hogan says.
