Balloting begins March 1 in the race for Bar president-elect between Lorna Brown-Burton of Ft. Lauderdale and Scott Westheimer of Sarasota and if you requested an email ballot, make sure to add flabarhelp@mg.electionservicescorp.com to your safe senders list before that date.

Election Services Corporation, which administers The Florida Bar’s elections, will send you your ballot using that email address. Leading up the election, 5,254 members consented to receive only an eballot this year, on top of the 6,773 members who opted for an eballot last year and will automatically receive an eballot this year.

The rest of the eligible voters will receive a courtesy eballot and paper ballot with instructions on how to cast their vote online with the Bar’s election company. If a member votes online, the paper ballot is void.
