Florida’s Primary Election is Tuesday, August 18 and the deadline to register to vote in the primary is Monday, July 20 so we’re checking in with the Supervisors of Elections from Lee and Collier Counties, Tommy Doyle and Jennifer Edwards. We explore how their offices are preparing for Election Day, especially in light of COVID-19, and what steps they are taking to ensure a smooth and secure voting process.

Plus, we’ll explore how the Vote by Mail process works. It’s been getting a lot of attention because of efforts to expand its use in many parts of the country because of the coronavirus outbreak. Florida has offered Vote by Mail for nearly two decades.
