Early Voting starts on October 22 and ends on November 2
EARLY VOTING
October 22 - November 2, 2024 9 AM - 6 PM Voters can vote at any Early Voting Location There are seven early voting locations in Sumter County. Six are in the Villages and the seventh is in Bushnell. Sumter County Maps |
Already voted and got my confirmation via email.

I voted by mail and sent it in the next day.

A good way to avoid the lines on Election Day. In 2020 4 million plus Floridian's voted early including mail ballots. It will probably be more in 2024.

I have always voted on election day (it used to be the only option) but I don't want to spend hours waiting in line. https://www.flsenate.gov/UserContent...2011-118ee.pdf |

That's ON Election day. If you vote early and wait until a few days after the first day, you'll probably see no lines at all. |

Just FYI. If you have a bite my mail ballot and are worried about mailing it back, you can drop it off at any early voting location. You tell the poll worker at the door you want to just drop off a mail in ballot and they will send you to the right person. Goes in a locked and secured ballot box and the poll worker makes sure you have sealed and signed it properly. Just an option for those who worry about the mail. And if you drop it off, you can still track it online |
Oh no!

Thank you for the mail in ballot tip.

This will be our third election here. We vote at Savannah Center and there has never been a wait of more than maybe 15 minutes. The people running the show are super-efficient and the process is both fast and smooth. Also, if there IS a rather long wait...there are a lot worse places to have to wait than Savannah Center. |

I have voted by mail/ absentee ballot for over 20 years. It is wonderful for those on the road, caregivers, servicemen overseas, and recovering athletes and surgery patients. Most election workers vote by mail or absentee. My traveling daughter (a nurse) votes by mail. Essential for active, productive, mobile society. Fewer chances to catch something from the sneezers at the polls too. |
Can I vote at Rohan if I’m considered in lake county?

Yes, some folks have tried to vote twice - once with a mail-in and once at their voting location. But when that happens, the mail-in becomes invalid and doesn't count. In some cases, the person will be detained at the voting location and informed that they've already voted and can't vote again. This is standard procedure and has been since the 1800s. Fear-based reactions of problems that don't exist, do nothing more than increase the profits for pharmaceutical companies that sell Xanax and Valium. |

This benefits counties that are mostly rural, where it's more difficult for voters to get to their assigned voting location. It also benefits suburbs, where most voters work in a nearby city that might be in a different county, and don't have as much opportunity to get to the polls in their authorized locations. If Election Day were made a National Holiday, things would be different, because employers would be required to give EVERYONE paid time off to vote that day. Full-timers would split shifts with other full-timers so that there's still coverage at the job. But it's not a national holiday, and so those voting locations are insanely crowded during the lunch rush and from 6pm til closing. The rest of the day, people are at work. Now that some counties and some states have eliminated many voting locations, it's created even more of a gridlock. The only solutions to that, presently: 1. Force people to not vote (which some areas are trying to do by making it harder to get to the polls and putting unreasonable restrictions on mail-in and early voting) 2. Expand voting locations on Election Day 3. Expand hours on Election Day 4. Support more efficient mail-in voting options 5. Support more efficient early-vote options. |

Mail-in voting has been a thing since the Civil War, and ALL of that was "early" voting, since the voter had to submit their vote through the mail BEFORE election day. Early voting has been an established thing since 1864. You just didn't care about it enough to notice, until recently. |

What about Lake County?

After being forced to “mail only” voting in Colorado, it’s nice to be able to vote in person at my precinct on Election Day. Looking forward to voting the old-fashioned way in person on Election Day (my first presidential election as a Villager)

Can you imagine how crazy people will get once we do electronic voting? Or when they find out that results are tabulated by computers? |
Quote:
If you live and are registered in Lake, you can’t vote in Sumter. They only have records for Sumter County voters. They do not have records for the other 66 counties. |

Most, maybe all, have rules giving some leniency to overseas ballots. Some states accept an early mail in ballot even if there is evidence the voter died between voting and election day. Others reject such ballots (A side note... President Carter now age 100 voted early) Here is FL's rule Quote:
