Voting Precincts in Sebastian, Florida

Sebastian voters use five Election Day polling places spread over nine Indian River County precincts, from the North County Public Library on Sebastian Boulevard to the Sebastian Community Center on North Central Avenue (Indian River County precinct directory).

Several Sebastian sites serve more than one precinct, so neighbors can share a polling place while voting in different precincts with different ballot styles. The directory, run for the Supervisor of Elections on the VoterFocus system, cautions that these are the normal locations and that some elections may use a different polling place, so the voter lookup is the final word for any single election (precinct directory). The nearest precincts outside the city vote in Fellsmere, at Fellsmere Community Bible Church on North Hickory Street for Precincts 2 and 3.

Polls in Sebastian open at 7 a.m. and close at 7 p.m. local time on Election Day, and a voter must use the polling place assigned to his or her legal residence. Poll workers ask for photo and signature identification, such as a Florida driver's license, a U.S. passport or a military ID, and a voter without proper identification may cast a provisional ballot (Election Day Voting).

A Sebastian voter's precinct is set by the residential address on the voter record, and the Indian River County Supervisor of Elections offers a street lookup and an interactive precinct map to find it (Find My Polling Place; Maps).

The Find My Polling Place tool asks for a house number and street name typed slowly, without direction or street type, and the office notes that addresses cannot be pasted in. With nine precincts and five polling places serving the city, the lookup is the reliable way to confirm the site for a Sebastian Highlands address. The same Maps page links the precinct map, the county commission and school board district map, and the Florida House District 34 and Senate District 29 maps that cover Sebastian voters (Supervisor of Elections Maps).

Because the Sebastian address on file decides both the polling place and the contests on the ballot, the elections office tells voters to keep it current. Address changes within Florida can be made online at RegisterToVoteFlorida.gov, by phone at 772-226-4700 or on a paper application, using a date of birth plus a Florida driver's license number, Florida ID number or the last four digits of a Social Security number (Register to Vote).

The only early voting site in Sebastian for the November 3, 2026 general election is the City Council Chambers at Sebastian City Hall, 1225 Main Street, open from October 19 through October 31 (Early Voting Information).

Early voting runs from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily, weekends included, with extended hours to 6 p.m. on Thursdays. Any registered Indian River County voter may use any early voting site, so a Sebastian voter can also choose the Indian River County Main Library at 1600 21st Street, the Supervisor of Elections office at 4375 43rd Avenue or Room 112 of the Intergenerational Recreation Center at 1590 9th Street SW, all in Vero Beach (Early Voting Information).

Each early voting site, including the Sebastian chambers, has a secure ballot intake station for returning a completed mail ballot during early voting hours. After early voting ends, mail ballots must reach the Supervisor of Elections office by 7 p.m. on Election Day; they are not accepted at Election Day polling places such as the Sebastian Community Center (Early Voting Information; Election Day Voting).

Any registered Sebastian voter can vote by mail, and for the November 3, 2026 election the deadline to have a ballot mailed is 5 p.m. on October 22, 2026, after the first ballots went out on September 24 (Vote-By-Mail Ballot).

Requests can be made online, in writing, by phone at 772-226-4700 or in person at the elections office in Vero Beach. The Supervisor of Elections warns that existing mail ballot requests expire after the 2026 general election cycle and must be renewed, and that a ballot is never forwarded by the Postal Service, so seasonal residents of Sebastian whose mail is held or forwarded north will see the ballot returned as undeliverable, which cancels future requests (Vote-By-Mail Ballot).

A Sebastian voter who cannot get to a polling place may designate someone in writing to pick up a mail ballot at the elections office; a designee may collect ballots for no more than two other voters per election besides immediate family. Voters who need an ADA accessible ballot can call the elections office at 772-226-4702 or 772-226-4718, and the office keeps a Spanish hotline at (833) 347-2763 for Sebastian and other Indian River County voters (Supervisor of Elections; Supervisor of Elections contacts).

For the 2026 general election, Sebastian residents had to register by October 5, 2026, and campaigning is barred within 150 feet of the entrance to any polling place, early voting site or drop box (Upcoming Elections; No Solicitation Zone).

Florida is a closed primary state, so in partisan primaries a voter may vote only for candidates of the party in which he or she is registered, and party changes must be made at least 29 days before an election. In a general election every voter receives the same ballot regardless of party (Register to Vote). Sebastian City Council races are nonpartisan and appear on the November ballot for voters who live inside the city limits.

Voter registration, precincts, polling places and early voting for Sebastian are run by the Indian River County Supervisor of Elections, Leslie Rossway Swan, while the City Clerk in Sebastian handles candidate qualifying for city races (City of Sebastian Election Information). The elections office is at 4375 43rd Avenue in Vero Beach, open weekdays 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., with a main line of 772-226-4700 (Supervisor of Elections).
