Grant-Valkaria Incorporation Special Election Information

Last updated 6/16/06
Election date: July 25, 2006

Who can vote: All registered voters in the proposed Town of Grant-Valkaria (precinct 8).

Registration books close: June 26, 2006 at 5 PM

Ballot language:

INCORPORATION REFERENDUM

Shall Chapter 2006- Laws of Florida, creating the Town of Grant-Valkaria and providing its charter be approved?

YES
NO

Mail ballot election: This election will be conducted as a mail ballot election. This means that ballots will be mailed to each registered voter in the proposed incorporation area. There will be no polling places open for this election. Ballots will be mailed on July 5, 2006 (except for overseas voters, whose ballots will be mailed as soon as they become available). Because this election is being conducted by mail ballot, you do not need to request an absentee ballot. However, if you reside the proposed incorporation area and you have moved and not notified the elections office, or if you will not be at your residence address (or will not have access to the mailing address that we have on file for you) after July 5, you must contact us to update your address information and/or to let us know where to mail your ballot.

All ballots must be voted and returned to any Elections Office by mail or in person no later than 5 PM on July 25 (7 PM at the Viera Office) to be eligible to be counted.

Mail ballots do not require witnesses like absentee ballots. They do, however, require that you write your Brevard County residence address and sign your name in the appropriate spaces on the return envelope. All signatures will be verified against our registration records. Ballots with blank or improperly completed certificates will not be counted.

Moving into the proposed incorporation area: If you are a registered voter and you move into the proposed incorporation area from another area of the state after the ballot mailing period (after July 15), you may vote in office as noted below. Due to requirements of state law, no ballots other than replacement ballots may be mailed after July 15.

Voting in office: Voters with special needs or who are unsure where they will be during the mailing period may vote at the Melbourne, Palm Bay or Viera Supervisor of Elections offices during regular office hours from July 5 through 5 PM on July 25 (7 PM at the Viera Office).

Military and overseas voters: If you are in the military or are temporarily residing outside of the country, and you have not notified our office of your military or overseas address, please contact us immediately. If you have notified us previously of your current address, you do not need to do so again. Overseas voters' ballots will be mailed on as soon as they become available in order to give you sufficient time to vote and return the ballot.

Lost or damaged ballots: In order to receive a replacement ballot, you must sign an oath stating that you did not receive your mail ballot, or that it was lost or damaged.
