To register to vote or update voter registration records, voters can visit any of the four administrative offices or go to VoteBrevard.gov.
“Florida strives to accommodate voters’ busy lives by having three convenient ways to vote – Vote-by-Mail, Early Voting, and Election Day. To help voters Be Election Ready for the General Election and know which method of voting is best for them, I encourage them to visit VoteBrevard.gov or contact one of our 4 administrative offices,” said Supervisor of Elections Tim Bobanic. “My office is the trusted source for election related information and all voters are encouraged to verify information they’ve seen or heard by visiting VoteBrevard.gov, calling 321-290-VOTE (8683), or following my verified Facebook and X accounts.”
Voters choosing to vote by mail have until 5:00 p.m. on October 24th to request a mail ballot be sent to them prior to the November 5th election. Current requests are valid for one general election cycle and are good through Dec. 31, 2024. Requests can be made at VoteBrevard.gov, by calling 321-290-VOTE (8683), or in-person at any of the four administrative offices. Military and overseas mail ballots were sent out on September 20th and domestic mail ballots are being sent on October 3rd.
