Pasco County's Deadline For Vote-By-Mail Ballot April 2

PASCO COUNTY, FL — Residents of Dade City, New Port Richey, Port Richey, St. Leo and San Antonio will be asked to vote for new city leaders April 12 when Pasco County hosts municipal elections.

Pasco County Supervisor of Elections Brian E. Corley has mailed out vote-by-mail ballots for the April 12 municipal elections to voters with requests already on file. The deadline to request a vote-by-mail ballot is Saturday, April 2.

Voted ballots must be returned to the elections office by 7 p.m. on Election Day, April 12.

Those mailing ballots should allow enough time for first-class delivery by the U.S. Postal Service or hand-deliver ballots to any of the three Pasco County Supervisor of Elections offices locate in Dade City, Land O' Lakes and New Port Richey.

Voted ballots also will be accepted at city halls, but voters are not permitted to turn them in at the polls on Election Day.

Voters who wish to vote in person before Election Day may vote early at Dade City, New Port Richey, Port Richey, St. Leo and San Antonio city halls.

Before voting, residents should make sure their voter registration is up-to-date and, if voting by mail, that a current signature is on file.

To order a vote-by-mail ballot, call 1-800-851-8754, or use the online request form at PascoVotes.gov. Requests may also be submitted in writing to P.O. Box 300, Dade City FL 33526, and must include the person's date of birth, address, the last four digits of the person's Social Security number or a Florida driver's license or ID number.
