For any voter who wants to hand-deliver his or her vote-by-mail ballot, the following is available:
- Bonita Springs Branch Office, Bonita Commons, 25987 S. Tamiami Trail #105 will accept vote-by-mail ballots until 3 p.m. on Election Day.
- Cape Coral Branch Office at Lee County Government Center 1039 SE 9th Ave. will accept vote-by-mail ballots until 3 p.m. on Election Day.
