Please have your Driver License, Florida ID card, or the last four digits of your Social Security number available when making your request. The deadline to request a Vote-by-Mail ballot be mailed to you is 5:00 p.m. on Saturday, August 13, 2022. Our Main Elections Office will be open that Saturday to serve you. A mail ballot may also be picked up in person at one of our four offices until 5:00 p.m. on Monday, August 22, 2022.

You can track your Vote-by-Mail ballot from the moment you request it until we receive it back at our office by visiting “My Status” at VotePalmBeach.gov.

Mail your Vote-by-Mail ballot using pre-paid postage, or drop it off inside any of our four offices during business hours. You may also drop it off at designated drop off locations across the county starting August 8, 2022. See map below!

A ballot may also be picked up in person at one of our four offices. If a voter or designee waits until Election Day to pick up or have delivered a vote-by-mail ballot, the Election Day Vote-by-Mail Ballot Delivery Affidavit (DS-DE 136 - English PDF / Español PDF) must also be completed. The voter must affirm that an emergency exists that keeps the voter from being able to vote at his or her assigned polling place.

You can make a difference in our community by joining our team of election workers. It takes between 4,000 - 5,000 election workers to staff our polling places on Election Day. Our election workers are engaged citizens from all walks of life who are committed to serving the voters of Palm Beach County. All election workers are trained for their jobs and are paid for their work on Election Day.

The Adopt-A-Precinct (AAP) program is a community partnership for 501(c)(3) organizations, associations, and charitable institutions. Through the AAP program, local organizations can take part in the elections process by "adopting" a precinct, providing the staffing of civic-minded individuals who will conduct and maintain the integrity of the voting process. The program, while serving as an opportunity to raise money for the organization, is also a great team-building experience for staff and volunteers.
