Make Your Vote Count

Secular_Button_Large.jpg

Your vote is your voice when it comes to public policy and we want to help you use it to promote the shared secular values that benefit all Americans, regardless of religion. The CFFC encourages you to support candidates who speak out in favor of a strict separation between church and state.

One of the best resources for voting information in Florida is the League of Women Voters. They are a non-partisan non-profit. The Florida voting site is lwvfl.org/voter-services

2026 Non-Partisan Voter Education Guide

The CFFC will develop a “mid-term” non-partisan voter education guide to help you assess candidates in Florida House and Senate races. The guide will present impartial responses from candidates across numerous local counties, providing insights on key issues and proposed amendments, if needed.

To join the team of volunteers that will work on this, email use our Contact Us form.

Educate Yourself & Help Others Vote!

The CFFC is proud to partner with Common Cause to educate you about voting and to provide opportunities for you to help voters during upcoming elections. There’s a role for everyone in this nonpartisan initiative—whether it’s helping voters from home, assisting voters in person, or tracking online disinformation.

Sign up today to learn more for yourself, and to learn about opportunities to serve around Central Florida and beyond at early voting sites and polling locations on election day.

Vote-By-Mail BallotS

YOUR VOTE-BY-MAIL REQUEST HAS EXPIRED!

Florida-ballot-Large.jpg

CHANGE TO FLORIDA VOTING LAW: Vote-by-Mail requests are valid through the end of the calendar year of the next regularly scheduled general election.

Voters who wish to receive a Vote-by-Mail ballot for 2024 must submit have submitted a request in the SAME CALENDAR YEAR.

Vote-by-mail is the easiest way to exercise your right to vote and avoid the polls altogether. Anyone may request a vote-by-mail ballot before the deadline for the upcoming election. Unless otherwise specified, a request for vote-by-mail ballot includes all elections through the next general election.

Vote-by-mail ballots CANNOT be forwarded or held at the post office so be sure to use an address where you are receiving mail. It does not have to be your home address. A vote-by-mail ballot that is returned as undelivered cancels the request and another must be filed.

Great information on Vote-by-mail in Florida from the ACLU can be found here.

TO REQUEST A VOTE-BY-MAIL BALLOT

Here is a third party non-profit link for every county: vote.org/absentee-ballot

Use these links to for your county or call the Supervisor’s office using the links above:

Voters With Disabilities

Florida law requires that voting methods at the polls and vote-by-mail ballots must be fully accessible to all voters. Options are available to allow voters to cast a ballot with or without assistance. Voters can receive personal assistance in voting and you do not have to disclose the nature or extent of your disability. You can choose anyone to help you, however it cannot be your employer, an agency of your employer, or an officer or agency of your union.

Anyone who wishes to use an accessible ballot can do so by calling their county Supervisor of Elections office (see the list above) and requesting the accessible ballot, or by requesting one at the polling location.
