Edgewood, Florida Public Records

The registration deadline falls 29 days before any election. Applicants must be U.S. Citizens, Florida residents, at least 18 years old by election day, and not adjudicated mentally incapacitated or convicted of a felony without restoration of voting rights. A valid Florida driver license number or Florida ID card number is required for online registration. Because Edgewood is unincorporated and has no municipal government, residents do not vote in city council or mayoral elections. The community falls within one of six single-member districts plus the countywide mayor race. County Commission terms run four years with staggered elections. Residents can find their assigned polling place by entering their address at ocfelections.com or calling 407-836-2070. The county operates numerous early voting sites typically open 10-14 days before elections, including locations in south Orange County convenient to area residents. Polling places for election day are assigned based on residential address and precinct boundaries. Florida's public records law makes extensive election information publicly accessible. Voter registration lists are available for purchase for political purposes through the Supervisor of Elections office under Florida Statute 97.0585, with individual voter registration records (excluding Social Security numbers and driver license numbers) searchable online. Campaign finance reports for all candidates and political committees are available through the Florida Division of Elections at dos.elections.myflorida.com/campaign-finance, showing contributions, expenditures, and contributor information. Candidate qualifying documents, ballot language for referendums, and precinct-level election results are posted at ocfelections.com following each election. One of Florida's two U.S. All Florida Cabinet positions including Attorney General, Chief Financial Officer, and Commissioner of Agriculture will be contested. Florida House of Representatives District seats (two-year terms) covering the area will be decided, along with potential Florida State Senate races depending on district cycle (four-year staggered terms). Orange County will hold elections for County Mayor, County Commission seats in designated districts, Orange County Comptroller, Orange County Tax Collector, Supervisor of Elections, and potentially Property Appraiser and Sheriff depending on term schedules. Orange County School Board seats for applicable districts will also appear on ballots. Voters may also decide state constitutional amendments and county charter amendments or referendums. Residents can track upcoming races, candidate filings, and ballot questions at ocfelections.com as the election approaches. Florida offers vote-by-mail (absentee) ballots available to any registered voter without excuse required under Florida Statute 101.62. Voters can request mail ballots online at ocfelections.com, by phone (407-836-2070), by mail, or in person. Requests are valid through the end of the calendar year of the second subsequent regularly scheduled general election (approximately two years), after which a new request must be submitted. Mail ballots are sent starting 40 days before the election and must be returned by 7:00 PM on election day, either by mail (postmark does not matter, must be received by deadline) or deposited in secure ballot drop boxes located throughout Orange County. All mail ballots require the voter's signature on the return envelope, which is matched against the signature on file with the registration record. Florida offers ballot tracking at ocfelections.com where voters can confirm their mail ballot was received and counted.
