Requests for Mail In Ballots Surge
July 25th, 2016 by Mike Vasilinda
Elections supervisors across Florida will begin putting more than two million domestic mail in ballots in the mail tomorrow, which is the first day they ballots can legally be mailed. Supervisors are reporting a 15 to 20 percent increase in ballot requests this election. Karen Williams at the Leon County Elections Supervisor’s Office says they have been working for more than a week to get the ballots out.
“We have to print and individualize an envelope for all of our vote by mail requesters and make sure they get their assigned ballot style and instructions and then we verify. So once everything assembled, we do a quality assurance check, and check every single ballot package to make sure it is accurate. Then we have to seal all of them, so the whole process takes about a week.”
Ballots can be returned up until six days before the August 30th Primary.
