Everything St. Johns County residents need to know about early voting for Nov. 5 election

Early voting for St. Johns County's Nov. 5 General Election begins Monday.

Nine early voting locations will be open every day for 13 days — including two Saturdays and one Sunday — from 8 a.m. to 6 pm.

Registered St. Johns County voters can cast their ballots at any of the nine voting locations during the early voting period. Voters must present a current and valid photo and signature ID. Voter information cards are not a valid form of identification. Go to https://www.votesjc.gov to learn more about acceptable forms of identification.

October 24 is the deadline to request a vote-by-mail ballot. Vote-by-mail ballots are available at votesjc.gov . Secure ballot intake stations for completed vote-by-mail ballots are available at all early voting locations between 8 a.m. and 6 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 p.m. on Election Day, Nov. 5, to be counted.

Postage for sending vote-by-mail ballots through the mail requires two first-class stamps or two forever stamps. 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, request a vote-by-mail ballot at votesjc.gov . Voters needing to update their address are encouraged to do so before Election Day to ensure that you are sent to the correct voting location.

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.
