Election websites began glitching around Florida on the first day of early voting.
It left many voters without access to their polling locations or the status of their vote by mail ballots.
The state's election websites crashed on election night during the primary, too.
There is growing concern the crash may also occur on Nov. 5 during the general election.
When large volumes of people try to access these sites, whether on election day or the first day of voting, the sites can't handle the amount of traffic.
Election supervisors stress however in no way does a website crash impact anyone's ability to cast a ballot or to have a vote counted.
Charlotte County Supervisor of Elections Leah Valenti said phone lines were very busy with voters experiencing technical difficulties.
“We helped each and every one who called,” she said.
The inability to get to the county websites made it difficult for voters to know where or when to vote and it hampered their ability to request a mail ballot.
Lee County Supervisor Tommy Doyle said he was worried as the mail ballot request deadline was quickly approaching.
“If anybody has trouble on the website, please call our office,” Doyle stressed.
Thursday, Oct. 24, is the last day to request a mail ballot. The vendor VR Systems said they immediately began to investigate the cause of the website crash.
"First and foremost, the ability to cast a ballot and have your vote counted is not impacted by the website outages. There is no indication of malicious activity,” the company stated in a news release.
Collier County Supervisor Melissa Blazier pointed out that she and others deal with the crash during the primary election night after the polls closed.
“Unfortunately, it's just a traffic thing. Our websites can only take so much traffic,” Blazier stated.
When asked if she was prepared, should the county election website go down during the General Election, she said yes.
“Should for some reason our website go down we have a static webpage that voters will get automatically directed to,” Blazier noted.
Every county supervisor in Southwest Florida said they have a backup plan.
“This time we're ready to pivot if we see any indication of technical difficulties…we'll be ready,” Valenti promised all results would be posted on social media.
“It may delay our results to the public, but it has nothing to do with the tabulation of the results,” Doyle concluded.
VR Systems emphasized there was no evidence of malicious activity, like an attack by hackers.
