BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2026 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — More than 596,000 personalized sample ballots are headed to Palm Beach County mailboxes ahead of the November 3 General Election. The Supervisor of Elections Office mailed them to registered voters who haven’t requested a Vote-by-Mail ballot or signed up to get their sample ballot by email.
The deadline that matters most right now is Thursday. Voters who want a Vote-by-Mail ballot sent to them must request it by 5 p.m. on October 22. Early Voting runs through November 1, with polls open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily at 28 locations across the county. Any eligible voter can use any Early Voting site, regardless of precinct, and those who book an optional appointment can skip the line.
On Election Day, Tuesday, November 3, polls are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., but voters must cast their ballot at their assigned polling place. Supervisor of Elections Wendy Sartory Link urged voters to look over the sample ballot before heading out. “With several races and ballot questions for voters to consider in this election, taking a few minutes to review your sample ballot ahead of time can make a big difference,” Link said. “We encourage every voter to come prepared, know their choices, and have a plan to vote.”
Don’t want to wait for the mail? Personalized sample ballots are available anytime on the Voter Dashboard at VotePalmBeach.gov, where voters can also check their registration status, find Early Voting locations and confirm their Election Day polling place.
