Because voter turnout is expected to be high for the 2024 General Election, the Supervisor of Elections is encouraging voters to study and mark the two-page sample ballots before heading to the polls or request a vote-by-mail ballot and vote from the comfort of home. Sample ballots are available online at votesjc.gov. Sample ballots will be mailed to St. Johns County registered voters who did not request a vote-by-mail ballot.

October 24 is the deadline to request a vote-by-mail ballot. Secure ballot intake stations for completed vote-by-mail ballots are available at all early voting locations between 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. Vote-by-mail ballots will also be accepted at the Supervisor of Elections Office, Monday through Friday, during business hours. All vote-by-mail ballots must be received at the Supervisor of Elections Office by 7:00 p.m. on Election Day, November 5th, to be counted.

Postage for sending vote-by-mail ballots through the mail requires two first-class stamps or two forever stamps. Voters needing to update their address are encouraged to do so before Election Day to ensure that you are directed to the correct voting precinct location. Vote-by-mail ballots cannot be returned to Election Day precincts.

St. Johns County residents can check their registration status, update voter records, view sample ballots, and request a vote-by-mail ballot at votesjc.gov.
