Make Your Vote Count
Your vote is your voice when it comes to public policy and we want to help you use it to promote the shared secular values that benefit all Americans, regardless of religion. The CFFC encourages you to support candidates who speak out in favor of a strict separation between church and state.
One of the best resources for voting information in Florida is the League of Women Voters. They are a non-partisan, non-profit. The Florida voting site is lwvfl.org/voter-services

Vote-By-Mail BallotS
YOUR VOTE-BY-MAIL REQUEST HAS EXPIRED!
CHANGE TO FLORIDA VOTING LAW: Vote-by-Mail requests are valid through the end of the calendar year of the next regularly scheduled general election.
Voters who wish to receive a Vote-by-Mail ballot for 2024 must submit have submitted a request since January 1, 2024.
Vote-by-mail is the easiest way to exercise your right to vote and avoid the polls altogether. Anyone may request a vote-by-mail ballot before the deadline for the upcoming election. Unless otherwise specified, a request for vote-by-mail ballot includes all elections through the next general election.
Vote-by-mail ballots CANNOT be forwarded or held at the post office so be sure to use an address where you are receiving mail. It does not have to be your home address. A vote-by-mail ballot that is returned as undelivered cancels the request and another must be filed.
Great information on Vote-by-mail in Florida from the ACLU can be found here.
