For Orlando City Council District 3<\/a> voters, several key dates are approaching for the upcoming runoff to decide a winner between Roger Chapin<\/a> and Mira Tanna<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Just 13 votes separated them<\/a> in last week\u2019s election. Now, Chapin and Tanna will face each other in a Dec. 9 runoff to represent Baldwin Lake, College Park, Coytown and several other neighborhoods north of downtown Orlando.<\/p>\n

Orange County Supervisor of Elections Karen Castor Dentel<\/a> is reminding District 3 residents that Nov. 10 is the deadline to register to vote if they haven\u2019t done so already.<\/p>\n

The deadline to request a vote-by-mail ballot for the District 3 runoff is Nov. 27 by 5 p.m.<\/p>\n

There are four ways to request a vote-by-mail ballot: calling the Supervisor of Elections at 407-836-8683; asking for one by mailing PO Box 562001, Orlando, FL 32856; stopping by in person at 119 W. Kaley St. at the Supervisor of Elections office; or, for those hanging on tight to the 1980s, faxing a request to 407-254-6577.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cRemember: After December 31, 2024, all Vote-by-Mail requests expired. If a request has not been submitted in 2025, a new one must be made,\u201d Castor Dentel\u2019s Office said in a press release. \u201cSign up for BallotTrax<\/a>\u00a0to get notified (via text or email) of the status of your vote-by-mail ballot, from when it\u2019s printed to when it\u2019s accepted.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Election Day, Dec. 9, people can vote from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. at their assigned precincts.<\/p>\n

However, people can vote early Dec. 1 to Dec. 7 at the Supervisor of Elections office<\/a>, located at 119 W Kaley St. in Orlando. The hours of early voting depending on the day. From Monday to Friday, early voting hours are 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. For the weekend, Saturday\u2019s hours are 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., while Sunday will be 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.<\/p>\n

\u201cLocal elections may not always draw the largest crowds, but they have the greatest impact on our daily lives,\u201d Castor Dentel said in a statement. \u201cOn Election Day, just 13 votes separated these two candidates. That\u2019s a powerful reminder that every voice matters, and every vote truly counts. Make sure yours is heard and vote!\u201d<\/p>\n

Out of three Orlando City Council races on the ballot, District 3 is the only one going to a runoff after no one reach majority support. That\u2019s partly due to a crowded field of five candidates.<\/p>\n
