Requests must include the voter’s date of birth, address, and last four digits of SSN or the voter’s Florida Driver License Number/Florida ID Number. Written requests must be on the Statewide Vote by Mail Request Form (DS-DE 160) (Spanish form).

Voters may return their voted ballot via USPS or hand delivery to any of our three offices countywide 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. daily.   There are secure ballot intake stations at each of our early voting sites during the early voting period and at all Supervisor of Elections’ offices through Election Day.

Ways to Vote

There are three options to vote in the General Election.  You can vote by mail, at an early voting site, or at your assigned polling place on Election Day.

Vote by Mail: To avoid lines and vote from the convenience of your home, you may request a Vote by Mail ballot.  Call the elections office at 800-851-8754 or visit www.PascoVotes.gov at least twelve (12) days prior to the election for your ballot. Requests must include the voter’s date of birth, address, and last four digits of SSN or the voter’s Florida Driver License Number/Florida ID Number. Written requests must be on the Statewide Vote by Mail Request Form (DS-DE 160) (Spanish form). Be sure to call early enough so there is ample time for you to receive your ballot and return it by mail.

Early Voting: Beginning Monday, October 19, 2026, through Saturday, October 31, 2026, voters may cast their ballot early at various locations throughout Pasco County. Polls are open from 7:00 a.m. until 7:00 p.m. 

Election Day: On Election Day,  you must vote at your assigned polling place. Polls are open from 7:00 a.m. until 7:00 p.m. Use our Precinct Finder to confirm your polling location.

Bring photo and signature identification with you to vote. 

Florida law requires two forms of identification at the polls. In order to vote, you must present both signature and photo identification.  A valid Florida driver’s license or identification card will meet those requirements.

Update your signature.

Your signature is important! When you vote by mail, the signature on your ballot envelope is compared to your signature on file. If there have been changes to the way you sign, or if you’re in doubt, please update your signature by completing a voter registration application
