Countdown to Election Day: Get informed and be prepared!
Voting in the 2026 General Election continues to ramp up as we count down the last few days of early voting and head into Election Day on Tuesday, November 3. This election will have contests at every level of government from federal representation all the way down the ballot to local offices including Mosquito Control and City Council for Marco Island.
Whether you decide to cast your ballot by mail or in person, it is important to have a plan for how you are going to vote. If you plan to cast your Vote-by-Mail ballot, don’t forget that all ballots need to be returned, not just postmarked, to the Supervisor of Elections office by 7 p.m. on Election Day, November 3.
Do you plan to vote in person? Early voting is a great option to work voting into your busy schedule with 11 early voting locations across the county that will be open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. through October 31. Voters who still have a Vote-by-Mail ballot can also drop off their voted ballot to a Secure Ballot Intake Station at any early voting site while polls are open. You can view locations and wait times at CollierVotes.gov/EARLY.
If you plan to vote in person on Election Day, November 3, polls will be open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and you must vote in your assigned precinct. You can find your designated polling location at CollierVotes.gov. As a reminder, Election Day is the last opportunity to vote in the General Election.
Voters planning to vote in person are encouraged to bring their marked sample ballot with them to the polls to assist them in the voting process. Visit CollierVotes.gov to view your personalized sample ballot, research the contests that will appear on your ballot and make your voting plan!
