Missing Your UPRD Ballot? Here’s How to Verify Voter Eligibility

Have You or Someone in Your Household Not Received a Ballot?

If you are a property owner and have received your ballot, but your residence partner, dependents (ages 18 and older), or long-term guests/tenants (ages 18 and older) who have lived at your address for 183+ days (on or before August 19, 2024) have not, they may be eligible to vote.

Please contact the UPRD District Manager, Vivian Carvalho, at carvalhov@pfm.com for assistance.

District Management will first attempt to verify your residency by checking the University Park Country Club (UPCC) membership database and the University Park Community Association Inc. (UPCAI) database.

  • If we can confirm that you have resided at your University Park address for at least 183 days (on or before August 19, 2024), a ballot will be issued.
  • If we cannot verify your residency through these records, you will need to provide the following as additional proof:
    • A utility bill, pay stub, or other official document showing your name and University Park address, with an issue or statement date of on or before August 19, 2024.
    • A signed and notarized affidavit confirming your residency. You can access the affidavit form here.

You may also visit the polling station located in The Varsity Club on Election Day, February 18, 2025, with your proof of residency and valid ID to have your eligibility verified and receive a ballot.

Important Reminder About Ballot Submission:

All ballots must be sealed in the provided envelope. To protect voter anonymity, ballots do not include voter identification. Any ballot submitted without the sealed envelope will be considered invalid. If you have already submitted your ballot without the necessary envelope, please contact the UPRD District Manager, Vivian Carvalho, at carvalhov@pfm.com for assistance.

Voter Fraud Warning:

Falsifying information or attempting to vote fraudulently is a third-degree felony under Florida law.
