Mail Ballot Request Deadline Arrives Thursday

Thursday, October 22, 2026 · Tampa, FL

Hillsborough County voters have until 5 p.m. Thursday, October 22, to request a mailed ballot for the November 3 general election. A request used for the 2024 elections does not carry over to 2026, so voters relying on that older request need a new one. After completing a ballot, residents may return it by mail or at a secure intake station. Completed ballots must reach the elections office by 7 p.m. on Election Day.
