Collier County, Fla.— September 27, 2024: The Collier County Supervisor of Elections office will send its first mailing of requested Vote-by-Mail ballots to domestic voters today, September 27, for the upcoming General Election.

All Vote-by-Mail requests from prior years have expired. The deadline for voters to request a ballot to be delivered by mail, for the General Election, is 5 p.m. on Thursday, October 24. Vote-by-Mail ballot requests can be made online at www.CollierVotes.gov or voters can call in their request at (239) 252-VOTE (8683).

Voted ballots must be physically returned (not just postmarked) to the Supervisor of Elections by 7 p.m. on Election Day, November 5. The United States Postal Service recommends that voters mail their voted ballots one week before the due date to account for any unforeseen events such as weather issues and to allow for timely receipt and processing by the elections office. Voted ballots can also be dropped off at any of the 11 early voting locations between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. on October 21 through November 2.

Voters who receive a ballot in the mail and decide to vote in person should bring their marked or unmarked ballot to their polling location so it can be canceled.
