Mail Ballots Due by 7 p.m. Nov. 3; Postmarks Don't Count in Broward, Palm Beach
Florida voters who requested mail ballots for the Nov. 3 midterm elections must have them back at county elections headquarters by 7 p.m. on Election Day; postmarks do not count and late ballots are not counted. In Broward County, a Postal Service processing-center closure in Fort Lauderdale and Pembroke Pines means mail is sorted in Opa-locka, Miami-Dade County, increasing the risk of late delivery. Voters can drop completed ballots at secure ballot intake stations—30 locations in Broward and 28 in Palm Beach—open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. through Sunday, Nov. 1, or at supervisors-of-elections offices on Nov. 2 and Nov. 3 after early voting ends. Overseas and military ballots receive an additional 10 days beyond Election Day.
