15. Florida has early voting and vote by mail as well as Election Day voting, of course

No matter which method is selected by the voter, in my county every registered voter gets a sample ballot and can also download a sample from the website of the county Supervisor of Elections .

Since I prefer to vote in person during early voting, I go through the sample ballot, make my choices, then make a cheat sheet to carry with me - the sample ballot which includes all sorts of information about voting is a little too big to stick in my pocket. My husband and I talk about choices but we each make our own.For the primary, my husband had his cheat sheet and gave it to some friends who he had driven to the polls.
