>>JENNIFER WAUGH: WEST HAVE ALREADY BEEN SUBMITTED TO THE DUVAL COUNTY SUPERVISOR OF
ELECTIONS OFFICE FOR MAIL IN
BALLOTS THAT’S MORE THAN IT’S
EVER RECEIVED MANY OF YOU
THOUGH STILL HAVE QUESTIONS
ABOUT GETTING ONE OF THESE
BALLOTS. IT’S WHY WE HAVE ASKED
SUPERVISOR OF ELECTIONS, MIKE
HOGAN TO JOIN US THIS MORNING.
MISTER HOGAN THANKS FOR BEING
WITH US APPRECIATE IT.
>> THANK YOU JENNIFER GOOD TO
BE HERE.
>>JENNIFER WAUGH: WOULD YOU
PLEASE EXPLAIN HOW SOMEONE CAN
REQUEST A MAIL IN BALLOT
BECAUSE THEY DON’T
AUTOMATICALLY GET MAILED OUT
YOU DO HAVE TO
REQUEST IT.
>> YES YOU DO IN FLORIDA AT THE
REQUEST, A BALLOT AND BUT THERE
ARE
MULTIPLE WAYS THEY CAN GO
ONLINE THERE’S A FORM ONLINE
AND THEY FILL
THAT OUT AND HIT ENTER OR
SUBMIT TO END IT WILL COME
DIRECTLY TO OUR OFFICE.
OBVIOUSLY YOU CAN MAIL IT
TO US. THE SIMPLEST THING RIGHT
NOW IS JUST TO MAKE THE CALL
CALLER OFFICES, 6, 3 O 1414 AND
WE CAN ACCEPT
YOUR REQUEST.
>>JENNIFER WAUGH: AND SO YOU
CAN ACCEPT THE REQUEST OVER THE
PHONE TO THEY HAVE TO VERIFY
ANYTHING TO YOU WE’RE GOING TO
ASK THEM SOME QUESTIONS, YES
MA’AM THEY CAN THEY
REQUESTED ON
THE PHONE. SO IF FOR SOME
REASON THEY WOULD LIKE TO HAVE
THEIR MAIL IN BALLOT PICKED UP
WITH THEIR UNABLE TO BE THE
PERSON THAT’S THERE TO ACTUALLY
PICK
IT UP TODAY JUST WALKING ANYONE
CAN AND DO THAT OR DID THEY
HAVE TO FILL OUT SOMETHING THEY
HAVEN’T HAD THAT SOMEONE HAS
>> I NOTE AND WE’RE LOOKING FOR
IDENTIFICATION FROM THAT PERSON
THAT’S SUPPOSED TO COME IN THE
OFFICE TO PICK UP FOR SOMEONE.
BUT YES THAT CAN
BE DONE.
>>JENNIFER WAUGH: SO MAILING
BALLOTS AS I LEARNED WHEN WE
WERE CHATTING YESTERDAY CAN NOT
BE FORWARDED. SO ON AND THAT’S AN IMPORTANT INFORMATION BECAUSE I THINK ABOUT HOW MANY
TIMES FOR EXAMPLE LAST 5 OR
6 YEARS. WHAT SHOULD I DO IF I
HAVE MOVED YOU KNOW IN THAT
TIME PERIOD TO
MAKE SURE THAT I ACTUALLY GET
MY MAIL INVALID BALLOT THAT I
REQUEST THAT’S A GOOD
QUESTION. JENNIFER.
>> THE FIRST THING I WOULD
SUGGEST THE THAT THE VOTER DO
IS GO TO OUR WEBSITE
AT WWW DO ALL ELECTIONS
DOT COM. AT THE TOP OF THE HOME
PAGE THERE’S A NAVIGATION
BUTTON ENTITLED MY
VOTER STATUS. CLICK ON THAT AND
THEN ENTER YOUR FIRST NAME.
YOUR LAST NAME AND YOUR DATE
OF BIRTH AND TELL THE COMPUTER
THAT YOU’RE NOT
A ROBOT AND WE’LL TAKE YOU
DIRECTLY TO YOUR VOTER
INFORMATION YOUR PERSONAL VOTER
INFORMATION YOU’LL FIND OUT
WHAT YOUR ADDRESS IS IF YOU TO
MAKE SURE
EVERYTHING’S BEEN CHANGED IN
ALSO GIVE YOUR INFORMATION
ABOUT YOUR MAIL BALLOT. IF
YOU’RE A IF YOU’RE GOING TO BE
RECEIVING ONE AND THEN IF
YOU’RE RECEIVING ONE. THERE’S
AS FOR YOU LOOK FOR YOUR BALLOT
TRACKING INFORMATION. >>JENNIFER WAUGH: I KNOW THAT THIS HAS BEEN A COMMON QUESTION
OF BECAUSE OF THE THE 40 ISSUE
WHICH IS WHY I JUST
WANT TO TO KIND OF FOLLOW UP
WITH YOU ON THIS IS YOU’RE
TALKING ABOUT SOMEONE WHO MOVED
IN TO NORTH CAROLINA. AS AN
EXAMPLE FROM FLORIDA
AND THEY HAD PUT IN THEIR
FORWARDING ADDRESS TO THE
POST OFFICE THAT DOESN’T
AUTOMATICALLY GET UPDATED
THOUGH TO THE SUPERVISOR OF
ELECTIONS OFFICE CORRECT IT’S
ALL ABOUT TIMING AND WE IF WE
HADN’T RECEIVED IT WE’RE GOING
TO BE SENDING IT TO
THAT HOME.
>>JENNIFER WAUGH: IT’S NOT
GOING TO GO IS NOT GOING TO BE
FOR DOUBLE TO NORTH CAROLINA.
CHALET OR WHATEVER THEY ARE LIVING IN THE MOUNTAINS SO IT’S INTERESTING I HAVE BEEN
RECEIVING MAILERS THAT WE’VE
BEEN GETTING ROBO CALLS WE’VE
BEEN HEARING ABOUT ALSO
ENCOURAGING PEOPLE TO VOTE BY
MAIL. I THINK THESE DAYS PEOPLE
ARE A LITTLE SUSPICIOUS OF
ANYTHING THAT THEY’RE
NOT EXPECTING.
>> ARE THOSE TYPICALLY
LEGITIMATE, I MEAN HOW SHOULD
SOMEONE RESPOND TO THAT.
>> WELL FOR THE MOST PART I
WOULD SAY YES THERE ARE
LEGITIMATE. THEY’RE THEY’RE
NOT ILLEGAL. THERE’S BEEN SOME
THAT WE’VE EXPERIENCED RECENTLY
SOME OF THOSE THAT BEEN IN THE
MAIL.
HOUR REGISTRATION FORMS AND
THERE’S A KEY AND A QUESTION ON
THE REGISTRATION FORM. BUT
THEY’RE NOT USING THE
STATE’S OFFICIAL, A
REGISTRATION FORM THEY’RE USING
ONE
THEY CREATED SO WE’RE HAVING TO
NOTIFY THE VOTERS THAT THEIR
RECORD FORM WAS
NOT ACCEPTABLE AND THEY NEED TO
FILL OUT THIS FORM WE’VE GIVEN
THE ACCESS AS IT RELATES TO HOW
THEY CAN PULL THAT DOWN.
ONLINE.
ONLINE. >>JENNIFER WAUGH: SO THEN ARE YOU RECOMMENDING THAT THOSE
FLYERS AT IT NOT BE THE
OFFICIAL SOURCE TO WHICH
SOMEONE SHOULD LEAD TO REQUEST
A VOTE BY MAIL OR EVEN
REGISTER, BUT THEY SHOULD JUST
CONTACT DIRECTLY THEIR LOCAL
SUPERVISOR OF ELECTIONS OFFICE.
>> YES, IF IT DOESN’T
HAVE OUR LOGO ON THE OFFICIAL
ELECTION LOGO I WOULD BE BE
VERY CAREFUL
>>JENNIFER WAUGH: IS THERE A
DEADLINE TO REQUEST A MAIL-IN
VOTE. BALLOT.
THE.
>> SOME MAIL IT BACK IS YES AS
AUGUST EXCUSE ME.
AS
OCTOBER 24TH. YOU CAN STILL GET
A MAIL BALLOT AFTER THAT DATE
BUT YOU HAVE TO COME OUR OFFICE
DOWNTOWN TO PICK
IT UP. BUT WE CAN’T MAIL YOU
ONE AFTER
THE 24TH.
>>JENNIFER WAUGH: MIKE HOGAN
