For local, state and national elections, voters can go to Vote411.org and enter their address to read candidates’ responses to our questions, see analysis of ballot issues, and build a personalized sample ballot. We ask candidates to answer questions about key community issues, and we present their responses unedited in their own words.

A note about Voting by Mail: All voters who want to continue voting by mail must submit a NEW vote-by-mail ballot request for the 2023-2024 election cycle (even if you have been voting by mail for years). As always, when voting by mail, remember to sign your ballot envelope carefully! And be sure to mail it 2-3 weeks before Election Day so that it arrives on time. If you prefer to drop your ballot off, you can do so at any one of the three Supervisor of Elections offices during opening hours and on Election Day 7:00 am to 7:00 pm:
- 501 1st Ave N in St Petersburg
- 315 Court St in Clearwater
- 13001 Starkey Road in Largo
