Vote Out Hunger Orange County 🗳️

September 18, 2020 by Kelly Quintero Leave a Comment

This year Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida is piloting a voter registration program called Vote Out Hunger. Second Harvest, along with the Feeding America network of 200 food banks across the country, are encouraging advocates, supporters, donors, feeding partners and most importantly clients, to make sure they’re registered to vote in the upcoming 2020 Presidential Election. Second Harvest is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization and does not support or oppose any candidate.

Why should you vote?
Your vote this November can help decide the future of crucial programs like the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), how many kids get school meals, and whether fighting hunger is a priority for lawmakers.

How can you vote in Orange County?
There are three ways you can vote:

  1. Vote By Mail
  2. Early Voting
  3. Election Day Voting
  1. Vote By Mail
    As a registered voter in Orange County, you may request a vote by mail ballot. The deadline to request a vote by mail ballot is October 24th by 5 PM. You can request your vote by mail ballot for Orange County here from the Supervisor of Elections: Request my ballot in Orange County!

    You can return your vote by mail ballot via the USPS or by dropping it off at any early voting location within Orange County. Check out the Early Voting locations below in the next section. Your ballot must be in the possession of the Orange Supervisor of Elections by 7 PM on Election Day. If you have mailed your ballot, the Supervisor of Elections must be in possession of the ballot by 7 PM on Election Day. Postmarked ballots prior to Election Day that do not arrive in time to the Supervisor of Elections will not be counted.
