Ballots for March 8 on Their Way to Military/Overseas Voters

Government

Sarasota County Supervisor of Elections Ron Turner will begin mailing today vote-by-mail (absentee) ballots for the March 8 countywide School District Millage Referendum and a County Charter Referendum to military and overseas voters. Turner said more than 1,900 ballots will be mailed to active duty military personnel and their spouses and dependents who are absent from Sarasota County, and to registered voters living overseas. The mailing is required by the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA), which ensures all eligible citizens can apply to register to vote and vote by mail (absentee). Following this initial mailing, ballots will be processed and mailed to UOCAVA voters as requests are received. Turner noted that an additional 115,116 vote-by-mail (absentee) ballots are scheduled to be mailed to domestic voters beginning January 27. “I want to take this opportunity to remind Sarasota County voters to vote and return ballots promptly, whether you are an overseas or domestic voter,” Turner said. Voters may contact the elections office at 941.861.8618 or votebymail@sarasotavotes.gov for more information.
