Supervisor of Elections reminds residents of key dates and procedures for casting their vote by mail.
Pasco County voters who wish to cast a ballot by mail for the upcoming Special Primary Election have until Thursday, September 18, 2025, to request a ballot be mailed to them, according to an announcement from Supervisor of Elections Brian E. Corley. The deadline for the elections’ office to receive ballot requests is 5:00 p.m. on that day.
This Special Primary Election, called by the Governor of Florida, is to fill the vacancy for the office of State Senate, District 11. The primary election is scheduled for September 30, 2025, with the Special Election to follow on December 9, 2025.

For those who miss the mail-in request deadline, ballots will be available for in-person pickup at the three elections’ offices until Saturday, September 20. Florida Statutes permit ballots to be picked up on behalf of another person, but this requires a written request from the voter and photo identification from the designee, who must also complete an affidavit.
Once the mandatory early voting period begins on Saturday, September 20, ballots cannot be picked up at the supervisor’s office, except in emergency situations. An affidavit affirming the emergency will be required.

All voted ballots must be in the elections’ office by 7:00 p.m. on Election Day, Tuesday, September 30. This includes ballots delivered by mail. Drop-off locations will be available at designated Early Voting Sites during the Early Voting period, September 20-27, and ballots can also be hand-delivered to any of the three Supervisor of Elections’ offices in Pasco County by the Election Day deadline. Voted ballots cannot be turned in at polling places on Election Day.
Voters can track the status of their mail-in ballot online. For more information on early voting locations and office addresses, voters are directed to PascoVotes.gov.
