The ballot is long. Really long. Because of ballot language explaining 11 proposed constitutional amendments that legislators -- not the voters -- have put on the November 2012 ballot, it may be the longest one that the state has ever seen.
Because of the sheer number of pages that people are being asked to fill out, and the anticipated high turnout in a presidential election year, the lines on Election Day are also going to be long. Really long.
We launched our Let Me Vote project to make voting easier for everyone. We wanted to be sure you knew how easy it is to request an absentee ballot so you can take as much time as you need to review and fill out your ballot from the comfort of your own home.
Let Me Vote features information on how Floridians can be empowered to overcome any barriers to casting their ballots. From tips for beating the lines, to important dates, to key information about what to expect on Election Day, we're making sure that you have the important information you need to be a part of this important election.
Absentee ballots are already being mailed, meaning votes are already being cast in Florida. The deadline to request yours is October 31st.
There is a lot at stake this year -- not only the Presidential and Senatorial Election, but constitutional amendments that could change Florida for generations -- and all voters need to be ready with accurate information when casting their vote. Get prepared. Get empowered.
