Reminder to absentee ballot voters: Florida primary is Tuesday March 15th and postmarks do NOT count

I just filled out my absentee ballot, and put it in the mailbox. According to the instructions, the postmark on your ballot does NOT count towards timeliness. Just a friendly reminder!

No postmark needed. And they verify your signatures on the spot.

Only about 1% of the mail is lost. It would suck to be in that tiny group that has something lost. I don't know the percent of delayed mail I have a hunch it's a tad higher than that and that would suck too to have your vote delayed by just one day too many.
