MELBOURNE ANNEXATION BALLOTS HAVE BEEN MAILED

As of December 1, 2004, all ballots for the Melbourne Annexation Special Election have been mailed. If you do not receive your ballot within a few days following this mail date,

• You are not registered to vote in Brevard County or you registered after the bookclosing date for the election. The registration deadline was 5 PM on November 22.

• You are not registered in one of the proposed annexation areas (area A: 2450 to 2991 Harlock Road, 3020 to 3108 Harlock Road, 4620 to 4685 Hidden Lakes Place, 4390 Painter Lane and 4100 to 4589 Parkway Drive; area B: 3360 to 3461 Beth Lane, 3810 to 3850 Connors Cove, 3480 to 3500 Deer Trail, 3900 Fair Point Lane, 3525 to 3599 Hammock Trail, 3155 to 3485 Turtle Mound Road (odd addresses), 3150 to 3480 Turtle Mound Road (even addresses), 3490 Turtle Mound Road and 3790 to 3795 Weeping Willow Street; area C: 1024 Hazelwood Drive and 1037 to 1096 Hazelwood Drive). Only registrants in these areas may vote in the election.

• Your voter registration is in an inactive status. This may be the case if you have not voted nor had contact with the Elections Office for at least two years and did not respond to a final address confirmation notice; contact us to return your registration to an active status.

• Either your residence or mailing address is not current or incomplete (e.g., no apartment number) in our records. Go to the How to Change Your Address page to update your address information.

• Your address is incorrect in our records due to a typographical error. This may be the case if you have never received a voter registration card, particularly if you registered or changed your address at a drivers license office; go to the How to Change Your Address page to update your address information.

• There is a postal service delivery problem. This might include incorrect forwarding information, no mail receptacle or lost mail. Contact us to rule out any of the above problems and then, if necessary, contact the postal service.

All ballots must be voted and returned to any elections office by mail or in person no later than 5 PM on December 21 (7 PM at the Viera Office) to be eligible to be counted.

Mail ballots do not require witnesses like absentee ballots. They do, however, require that you write your full Brevard County residence address, including city, state and zip code, and sign your name in the appropriate spaces on the return envelope. All signatures will be verified against our registration records. Ballots with blank or improperly completed certificates will not be counted.

Who can vote: All registered voters in the proposed annexation areas (area A: 2450 to 2991 Harlock Road, 3020 to 3108 Harlock Road, 4620 to 4685 Hidden Lakes Place, 4390 Painter Lane and 4100 to 4589 Parkway Drive; area B: 3360 to 3461 Beth Lane, 3810 to 3850 Connors Cove, 3480 to 3500 Deer Trail, 3900 Fair Point Lane, 3525 to 3599 Hammock Trail, 3155 to 3485 Turtle Mound Road (odd addresses), 3150 to 3480 Turtle Mound Road (even addresses), 3490 Turtle Mound Road and 3790 to 3795 Weeping Willow Street; area C: 1024 Hazelwood Drive and 1037 to 1096 Hazelwood Drive).

Mail ballot election: This election will be conducted as a mail ballot election. This means that ballots were mailed to each registered voter in the proposed annexation areas. There will be no polling places open for this election. Ballots were mailed on December 1, 2004 (except for overseas voters, whose ballots were mailed on November 16). Because this election is being conducted by mail ballot, you do not need to request an absentee ballot. However, if you reside in one of the proposed annnexation areas and you have moved and not notified the elections office, or if you will not be at your residence address (or will not have access to the mailing address that we have on file for you) after December 1, you must contact us to update your address information and/or to let us know where to mail your ballot.

Moving into the proposed annexation areas: If you move into one of the proposed annexation areas from another area of the county after the ballot mailing period (after December 11), you may vote in office as noted below. Due to requirements of state law, no ballots other than replacement ballots may be mailed after December 11.

Voting in office: Voters with special needs or who are unsure where they will be during the mailing period may vote at the Melbourne or Viera Supervisor of Elections offices during regular office hours from December 1 until 5 PM on December 21 (7 PM at the Viera Office).

Military and overseas voters: If you are in the military or are temporarily residing outside of the country, and you have not notified our office of your military or overseas address, please contact us immediately. If you have notified us previously of your current address, you do not need to do so again. Overseas voters' ballots were mailed November 16 in order to give you sufficient time to vote and return the ballot.
