How to Vote

 There are three ways to vote in Palm Beach County: Vote by Mail (VBM), Early Voting, and Election Day Voting.

You can get more information about each of them here:

The Republican Party and I strongly encourage you to sign up for VBM. You must request to be send VBM ballots every 2 years. All VBM requests are automatically cancelled on December 31 of even numbered years to maintain integrity of the process. Requesting a mail-in ballot ensures you get a ballot mailed to you as early as possible. You can fill out your ballot and either mail it in or drop it off at a Supervisor of Elections office or an early voting location. You can track your ballot on the county website to ensure it is received and counted. This is an excellent option if you send in your ballot at least 2 weeks before election day. Even if you do not vote with your ballot, it gives you notice of the election and identifies all of the candidates and issues.

Early Voting is another excellent alternative. You can go to any Early Voting site in Palm Beach County to vote. Early Voting will start at least 10 days before Election Day and ends 2 days before Election Day (on a Sunday). It is open from 7 am - 7 pm. You can even make an appointment to vote to avoid long lines. The nearest Early Voting locations to our precinct are Hagen Ranch Rd Library and the South County Civic Center. However, you can go to ANY Early Voting location that is convenient for you. Also, if you have your VBM ballot and envelope, you can drop off your ballot at any Early Voting location to avoid long lines and delays.

Election Day voting is also an option, but it is the least preferred. The only place you can vote is your own precinct which, for us, is the Huntington Lakes Clubhouse. The reason this is least preferred is that it is the most restrictive and last minute voting option. If there are long lines, you cannot drop off your VBM ballot to avoid lines. If you have an emergency situation on Election Day, you will probably be unable to cast your vote if you are waiting until Election Day. To make sure you can cast your ballot, you should use VBM or Early Voting. They are reliable, much more convenient, and avoid problems caused by last minute Election Day issues like medical emergencies, travel problems, car trouble, etc.

Ideally, every Republican in our precinct will have voted at least one week BEFORE Election Day. This helps our candidates by making sure our votes are cast and allowing volunteers to focus on other campaign tasks instead of calling you to remind you to vote.
