Q: Is there anything voters should be doing to prepare now for the 2024 General Election?
A: Yes! It’s never too early to get election ready. I recommend visiting www.votesjc.gov and using the Check My Status tool to make sure that your information is up to date. It’s also important to keep an updated signature on your voter record, especially for our voters that vote by mail. Voters needing to update their signature can download the Florida Voter Registration Application on our website, www.votesjc.gov, and print, complete, and mail the form to the Elections Office. This service can also be done in person at the Elections Office, or at any St. Johns County Public Library or DMV office.

To request a vote-by-mail ballot for the 2024 General Election, visit www.votesjc.gov or call the Elections Office at (904) 823-2238.
