Supervisor of Elections — Indian River County, Florida

The Supervisor of Elections works from 4375 43rd Avenue in Vero Beach, open Monday to Friday from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM, with the main line at (772) 226-4700.

The Supervisor's About Us page lists that building on 43rd Avenue as its office address. The office lists a fax line, (772) 770-5367, and a Spanish hotline, (833) 347-2763, and its posted hours show Saturday and Sunday as closed (Supervisor of Elections About Us page). Leslie Rossway Swan is the Supervisor of Elections, according to the same page.

A separate number handles polling place questions: the Supervisor's office directs polling place questions to 772-226-4705 (Upcoming Elections page). Voters in Sebastian, Fellsmere, Indian River Shores and Orchid deal with the same Vero Beach office, and the north county's early voting site is Sebastian City Hall.

The Supervisor of Elections keeps the voter roll for all of Indian River County, mails ballots, staffs early voting and Election Day, and publishes precinct maps, sample ballots and a directory of elected officials.

Florida law makes the post an elected one. Section 98.015 of the Florida Statutes says a supervisor of elections shall be elected in each county at the general election in each year the number of which is a multiple of four, for a 4-year term that starts on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in January (s. 98.015, Florida Statutes). The same section makes each supervisor, including the one in Vero Beach serving Indian River County, responsible for a voter registration system that meets state rules.

The office also maintains a lookup of everyone who represents a county address. Its directory lists the county's constitutional officers: Clerk of the Circuit Court and Comptroller Ryan L. Butler, Property Appraiser Wesley Davis, Sheriff Eric Flowers, Tax Collector Carole Jean Jordan and the Supervisor herself (Who Are My Representatives page). It lists all five members of the Board of County Commissioners with offices at 1801 27th Street, Building A, in Vero Beach, along with special districts such as the Indian River Mosquito Control District on 41st Street and the Sebastian Inlet District.

Paper voter registration applications are stocked at 27 sites across Indian River County, from city halls in Sebastian and Fellsmere to libraries, Tax Collector branches and the Clerk's courthouse in Vero Beach.

Completed paper applications go back to the Supervisor of Elections office at 4375 43rd Avenue, by hand or by mail (Voter Registration Agencies page). The agency list is numbered and countywide, so the closest pickup point depends on the town.

In the north county, Sebastian has five listed sites: City Hall at 1225 Main Street, the North County library at 1001 Sebastian Boulevard, the Clerk of Circuit Court and Tax Collector branches that share 1921 US Highway 1, and the Senior Resource Association at 815 Davis Street (Voter Registration Agencies page). Fellsmere has two, the city offices at 22 S. Orange Street and the Marian Fell Library at 63 N. Cypress Street.

On the barrier island, the Town of Indian River Shores stocks forms at 6001 N. Highway A1A and the Town of Orchid at 7707-1 US Highway 1 (Voter Registration Agencies page). Vero Beach has the longest list, including City Hall at 1053 20th Place, the Main Library at 1600 21st Street, the Tax Collector at 1800 27th Street and its west office at 1860 82nd Avenue, the Brackett Library at 6155 College Lane, and the Gifford Youth Achievement Center at 4875 43rd Avenue.

A single vote-by-mail request in Indian River County covers every election through the end of the calendar year of the next regularly scheduled general election, and the ballot must reach the Supervisor's Vero Beach office by 7 p.m. on Election Day.

The request rule and its deadline come from state law. Under section 101.62 of the Florida Statutes, the deadline to ask for a ballot to be mailed is 5 p.m. local time on the 12th day before an election, and the supervisor must mail a ballot within 2 business days of a request (s. 101.62, Florida Statutes). For the November 3, 2026 election, the office on 43rd Avenue lists October 22 at 5:00 pm as the request deadline.

Returning a ballot does not require the mail. During early voting, a completed mail ballot may be dropped at the secure ballot intake station at each early voting location, including Sebastian City Hall Council Chambers, or handed in at the Supervisor of Elections office (Early Voting Information page). A ballot that arrives after 7 p.m. on Election Day is not counted.

For the November 3, 2026 General Election, Indian River County early voting runs October 19 to 31 at four sites, from Sebastian City Hall to the iG Center in Vero Beach, and polls open 7:00 am to 7:00 pm on Election Day.

The registration deadline for this election, for voters in Sebastian, Vero Beach and every other county town, was October 5, 2026, and the Supervisor notes that all dates are subject to change (Upcoming Elections page). On Election Day, voters must use their assigned polling location; during early voting, any registered voter may use any open early voting location.

Early voting hours are 8:00 am to 4:00 pm, with extended hours to 6:00 pm on Thursdays (Early Voting Information page). The north county site is the Council Chambers at Sebastian City Hall, 1225 Main Street. The other three are in Vero Beach: the Indian River County Main Library at 1600 21st Street, the Supervisor of Elections office at 4375 43rd Avenue, and Room 112 of the Intergenerational Recreation Center at 1590 9th Street SW. The Early Voting page also says voters may use any one of three locations, while both of its lists name four.

Voters at Sebastian City Hall and the Vero Beach sites show photo and signature identification. The accepted list includes a Florida driver's license, a United States passport, a debit or credit card, and military, student, retirement center and neighborhood association cards; a voter without proper identification may cast a provisional ballot (Early Voting Information page).
