How to Vote in the Aftermath of a Hurricane

Posted on 10/02/24 by AARP Florida


AARP continues to be your wise friend and fierce defender as Florida recovers from the devastating impacts of Hurricane Helene. Depending on your local county, your ability to vote may be impacted. Here are some resources to ensure you can cast your ballot in the 2024 Presidential Election:

Contact Your Supervisor of Elections Office: If you have questions about how to vote in the aftermath of a hurricane, your Supervisor of Elections Office can help.

Your local supervisor's website will also contain important updates about in-person voting options if your county has been affected by the storm.

Bookmark the FL Division of Elections Webpage: The FL Division of Elections frequently posts updated election information so voters know their options.

Confirm Your Voter Registration Address:
Your voter registration address should be your permanent place of residence.

- If you relocated temporarily due to the hurricane but still have the same permanent address, no changes need be made.

- If you have a new permanent address, update your information online.

- Mail-in ballots can be mail forwarded. To ensure your ballot makes it to a temporary address, ensure mail forwarding is enabled via the United States Postal Service.

If you have any questions about your voter registration address, contact your local Supervisor of Elections office.
