President Donald Trump, now a Palm Beach resident registered to vote in Florida, has requested a vote-by-mail ballot for the Florida Republican presidential primary.

Like 160,000 other Palm Beach County voters, President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump have requested vote-by-mail ballots for Florida’s presidential primary.

The ballots were picked up for Trump on Monday, and as of Wednesday had not been submitted, according to the Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections website.

During his visit to Palm Beach last weekend, Trump apparently chose to forgo an opportunity to go to an early voting site to cast a ballot in the Republican primary, for which he is a huge favorite to win.

Trump is not expected back in the area before Election Day.

As a candidate on Election Day in November 2016, Trump voted in person at Public School 59 in Manhattan. When seeking a second term in 2012, former President Barack Obama cast a ballot in person during early voting in Chicago.

Trump is scheduled to appear at a luncheon with U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner in Denver on Friday.

If he votes on Election Day, his polling place would be the Morton and Barbara Mandel Recreation Center in Palm Beach, about three miles north of Mar-a-Lago.

The Trumps registered as Republicans in October, signaling their official move to Palm Beach from New York.
