The Collier County Supervisor of Elections office will mail requested Vote-by-Mail ballots to eligible domestic voters who are eligible to vote in the City of Naples Election starting Dec. 31.

Mailings for uniformed and overseas voters began on December 19.

The deadline for voters to request a ballot to be delivered by mail for the City of Naples Election is 5 p.m. on Thursday, January 22.

All Vote-by-Mail requests from prior years have expired. Vote-by-Mail ballot requests can be made online at CollierVotes.gov or voters can call in their request at 239- 252-VOTE (8683).

Voted ballots must be physically returned (not just postmarked) to the Supervisor of Elections by 7 p.m. on Election Day, February 3.

The United States Postal Service recommends that voters mail their voted ballots one week before the due date to account for any unforeseen events such as weather issues and to allow for timely receipt and processing by the elections office.

Voters who receive a ballot in the mail and decide to vote in person on Election Day should bring their marked or unmarked ballot to their polling location so it can be canceled.

To request or track your ballot for the City of Naples Election, visit CollierVotes.gov or contact the Supervisor of Elections office at 239-252-VOTE (8683).

  • Animals in south Florida don’t have to worry much about winter cold – and indeed many migrants from areas farther north find suitable living conditions here. But, a trip to the beach or on a rare blustery day sometimes makes one wonder. How do ducks, herons, egrets, and other birds tolerate wading or swimming in cold weather? Aquatic birds, for example, have bare skinny legs with leg muscles placed among insulating feathers.Blood vessels going to and from the very few muscles in the legs and feet lie right next to one another, and cold blood going back into the body is warmed by warmer blood coming from the body – and is nearly the same temperature as the blood circulating in the well-insulated body.
