Vote By Mail!
Not sure about voting in-person due to COVID-19?
Martin County voters are no longer waiting until
Election Day to cast their vote. On an average, 40
percent of our voters are choosing to vote by mail. As
voters continue to embrace voting by mail, Election
Day turnout at the polling precincts will continue to
decline.
Here Are Some Important Facts, About Voting By
Mail
• All vote by mail ballots are counted, regardless if
an election has a close race or not
• Vote by mail requests are valid for four years
• Vote by mail ballots cannot be forwarded. To mail
a vote by mail ballot to a different address, a note
which contains the voter’s signature and date of birth
is required
• You can verify your ballot was received at
MartinVotes.com, click on “Track Your Ballot” or call
the Elections Center at (772) 288-5637
• Florida is a no excuse state. Voters do not need a
reason to request a vote by mail ballot
• All vote by mail ballots must be in the elections
center by 7 p.m. on Election Day
As your Supervisor of Elections, it is my desire
to provide the best possible customer service to the
voters of Martin County. If there is anything my staff
or I can do to assist you, please let us know.
