A Message from Alan Hays

Lake County's Supervisor of Elections

Happy New Year! With the holidays behind us, your team of election professionals becomes even more laser focused on election preparation for the Presidential Preference Primary (PPP) on March 19th. Our staff is 100% committed to our tasks and in doing our part to maintain Florida's gold standard of election administration. The next few weeks will swiftly fly by and I want to take a moment to remind you of some key dates for your calendar. If you or someone you know has been postponing registering to vote or making a party change, registration books for new voter registrations and party affiliation changes for the PPP will close on February 20th. If you have not renewed your request for Vote-by-Mail (VBM) or wish to request a VBM ballot, the last day to do so for the PPP is March 7th. Early Voting for the PPP is March 7-16. There are 12 convenient locations that you can cast your vote or return your VBM ballot. Find the location nearest you by selecting this link: Early Voting Locations. Early Voting hours are 10:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. Election Day is March 19th. Lake County voters must vote at their assigned precinct. Finding your precinct is easy when you select this link: Find My Precinct. Polls will be open from 7:00 a.m. - 7:00 p.m. Election Day polling locations are for in-person voting only. Whether you vote at an Early Voting location or at your assigned precinct on Election Day, please take a moment to thank the men and women who have given up countless hours of their time to be Election Workers. These individuals are proud to serve our community in this capacity and we can't thank them enough for all that they do. As I said last month, we are truly blessed to live in this great country and to have the privilege of voting to choose our government leaders. For some individuals, March 19th will be their first time to cast a ballot, for others one of many. Regardless if you are a first-timer or a lifelong voter let us honor our founding fathers by being informed about the candidates. Feel welcome to contact our office with any questions that you may have. We are open 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday excluding holidays. We look forward to serving you. Thank you for the privilege of serving as your Supervisor of Elections.
