Public Records Requests

Your Public Records

Florida public record law states that any records made or received by any public agency in the course of its official business are available for inspection unless specifically exempted by the Florida legislature. This also means that not all records are public. Some records are exempt from public disclosure and protected by law.


Records in the Supervisor of Elections Office are maintained according to their retention schedule, in compliance with the public records law (Chapter 119, Florida Statutes) and applicable Election Law (Chapters 97-106, Florida Statutes).


By submitting a  public records request, your contact information and this request will also be subject to public record.
