Mail ballots cannot be dropped off at polling places on Election Day.<\/p>\n
But it\u2019s still possible to vote in person at a neighborhood polling place. The system works faster for voters if people changing their minds bring the mail ballot to the precinct, where it can be canceled, but it\u2019s not required. Someone who requested but didn\u2019t receive a mail ballot can also vote at a precinct.<\/p>\n
If someone has sent back a completed mail ballot<\/a> but the supervisor of elections office website shows the office has not received it, they may vote in person.<\/p>\n People can wear what they want to the polls, including a campaign hat, shirt or button showing support for a candidate \u2014 as long as they\u2019re there to vote.<\/p>\n That doesn\u2019t count as illegal electioneering at the polls. People are not allowed to campaign, or attempt to sway other voters, while they\u2019re within the 150-foot no-campaigning zones around the entrance to the polling place.<\/p>\n Potential complications<\/p>\n If you\u2019ve moved, you can still vote. That includes people whose homes have been foreclosed on. People need to update their addresses, something that can be done on Election Day. It can legally be processed at polling places, though it can take time.<\/p>\n If a voter shows up at an early voting site or a precinct on Election Day and is told there is no record of the voter or something else is wrong, both counties\u2019 elections office representatives said people are allowed to vote using a provisional ballot.<\/p>\n Lisa Lee Arneaud, public information officer at the Broward Supervisor of Elections Office, recommended asking for a poll clerk to see if the issue can be resolved. If the issue cannot be resolved on site, the voter is offered a provisional ballot, which is processed if the issue is resolved with the supervisor of elections office or the county elections Canvassing Board.<\/p>\n If additional documentation is required, the voter has until 5 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 5 \u2014 two days after Election Day \u2014 to submit it to the elections office, said Alison Novoa, public information officer and director of strategic initiatives at the Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections Office. \u201cProvisional ballots are then presented to the Canvassing Board, which makes the final determination on whether the ballot can be counted.\u201d<\/p>\n Information<\/p>\n People can check to see if they\u2019re registered to vote, check the status of their mail ballots, and find the locations of county elections offices and polling places online and by phone.<\/p>\n Broward County: browardvotes.gov<\/a>, 954-357-8683. Phones will be answered from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.<\/p>\n![\"Broward](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/TFL-L-wendy-joe-supervisors-e1791999016375.jpg\")
