Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan, Pennsylvania, New York, Connecticut and Mississippi do allow voters to change their vote, according to research done by CNN in 2016.

Minnesota, for instance, allows voters to “claw back” their vote and change it, but the deadline for that has passed. Wisconsin allows people to change their vote up to three times, though it doesn’t happen often. Florida voters can change their mind about the method in which they cast a ballot, but they cannot vote more than once.

If a Floridian has requested a vote-by-mail ballot, but decides they’d rather vote in person, they can go to their polling place and exchange the mail-in-ballot and cast a vote at the polling place.

If a voter has already sent his or her mail-in ballot and then goes to vote in person, “the (mail) ballot is deemed cast and the voter to have voted,” according to Florida law.

David Becker of the Center for Election Innovation said changing a vote in states where that is possible is “extremely rare” and very complicated.

“It’s hard enough to get people to vote once — it’s highly unlikely anybody will go through this process twice,” he said.
