What Voters Should Know Before Election Day
Check Your Sample Ballot: Voters can review their personalized sample ballot online at VotePalmBeach.gov to review the candidates and issues that will appear on their ballot before going to the polls.
Confirm Your Polling Location: On Election Day, voters must vote at the polling place assigned to their precinct, which may differ from locations used in countywide elections.
Bring Acceptable Identification: Florida law requires voters to present a valid photo and signature ID when voting in person. Voters without acceptable identification may vote a provisional ballot.
Vote-by-Mail Information: Vote-by-Mail ballots for the Municipal Elections must be received by 7 p.m. at the Supervisor of Elections Main Office, or by 5 p.m. at a branch office or secure ballot intake station on Election Day, March 10, 2026.
Voters who requested Vote-by-Mail ballots for both the March 10, 2026, Uniform Municipal Elections and the March 24, 2026, House District 87 Special General Election may receive two separate ballots, each with its own return envelope. The Municipal Election ballot and return envelope are marked with a yellow stripe, and the House District 87 ballot and return envelope are marked with a purple stripe. Each ballot must be returned in its matching envelope to be counted.
Voters who prefer to vote in person after requesting a Vote-by-Mail ballot should bring their ballot with them to their assigned polling place so it can be replaced with an in-person ballot.
Because municipal elections vary by city or town, voters should visit their municipality’s website for details about local candidates and issues.
For additional information, voters can visit VotePalmBeach.gov or contact the Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections Office at (561) 656-6200.
