Homosassa, Florida Public Records

Florida residents can register to vote online through the Florida Division of Elections at registertovoteflorida.gov or by submitting a paper application available at the Supervisor of Elections office, driver license offices, public libraries, and various government agencies. Voters must register at least 29 days before an election. Florida requires voters to provide a Florida driver license number or Florida identification card number, or the last four digits of their Social Security number. Eligible voters must be U.S. Citizens, Florida residents, and at least 18 years old by Election Day. Because Homosassa is unincorporated with no municipal government, residents do not vote in city council or mayoral elections. Instead, local voters participate in Citrus County Commission elections, school board races, state legislative contests, statewide offices, and federal elections. County Commission seats are elected by district, with commissioners serving four-year staggered terms. The community falls within County Commission District 1. Voters can find their assigned polling place by entering their address on the Supervisor of Elections website at www.votecitrus.gov under "Find My Precinct" or by calling the office. Early voting is typically offered at multiple locations throughout Citrus County for 10-14 days before each election, including weekends, at locations such as the Homosassa Public Library at 4100 S. Grandmarch Avenue. Florida election records that are public include voter registration lists (with some personal information redacted), campaign finance reports filed by candidates and political committees searchable at dos.myflorida.com/elections, candidate qualifying information, precinct-level election results, and ballot measure language. The Supervisor of Elections posts unofficial election results on election night and certified results after the county canvassing board completes its review. Florida does not have a U.S.Current federal, state, and local election schedules, ballot contests, candidate filings, and certified results for Homosassa voters are published by the Florida Division of Elections (https://dos.fl.gov/elections/). State-level races include Cabinet positions (Attorney General, Chief Financial Officer, Commissioner of Agriculture), all 160 Florida House seats including the district covering the area, and half of the 40 Florida Senate seats. Locally, voters will elect constitutional officers including Sheriff, Property Appraiser, Tax Collector, Supervisor of Elections, and Clerk of Circuit Court, as these positions are on four-year cycles with elections in presidential years. County Commission seats may also be on the ballot depending on district rotation. School Board seats for Citrus County are elected on the same cycle. Florida voters can request vote-by-mail ballots (absentee ballots) online through the Supervisor of Elections website, by phone, by mail, or in person. Requests are valid through the end of the calendar year of the second ensuing regularly scheduled general election, meaning a request made in 2025 would be valid through December 31, 2026. Voted mail ballots must be received by the Supervisor of Elections office by 7:00 PM on Election Day to be counted; postmarks do not extend this deadline.
