Florida voters face mail ballot deadline ahead of midterm elections

FORT MYERS, Fla. — With the primary for the governor's race and congressional midterms less than four months away, Florida voters are being reminded to act quickly to request mail ballots, as state law requires all previous requests to be purged after each general election.

In Lee County, just over 40,000 of nearly half a million voters have requested mail ballots so far. Collier and Charlotte counties have only around 20,000 requests each, meaning the vast majority of voters will need to vote in person.

Rasheedah Shaheed of Fort Myers said she prefers voting in person.

"I guess I'm old-fashioned. I do really like to show up and get the full voter experience and wait in the lines," she said.
