Procedures and Requirments for Voter Registration

Florida Voter Registration Requirments

To register to vote in the state of Florida you must be a citizen of the United States, be a resident of Florida, be 18 years old (you may pre-register to vote at age 16), and be able to provide your current and valid Florida driver's license or Florida identification card number. You may not now be adjudicated mentally incapacitated or have been convicted of a felony without your civil having been restored.

How to Apply to Register to Vote

1. Fill in the Voter Registration Application online. 2. Print the application out. 3. Verify that all of the information on your application is complete. The office where you register, your decision not to register, your Social Security Number, Florida driver’s license number and your Florida identification card number will remain confidential and will be used only for voter registration purposes. 4. Sign your application. 5. Place the application in an envelope with a first class stamp. 6. Mail the application to your county Supervisor of Elections. You may also opt to mail or hand deliver the application to any Supervisor of Elections' office in the state, a driver’s license office, a voter registration agency, an armed forces recruitment office, or the Division of Elections. 7. If your application is complete and you qualify as a voter, the Supervisor of Elections will mail you a voter information card as official notification that you are registered to vote. If you do not receive your card within 8 weeks, or if you have any questions, call your Supervisor of Elections. 8. You must be registered for at least 29 days before you can vote in an election.

If the information on the application is not true, the applicant can be convicted of a felony of the third degree and fined up to $5,000 and/or imprisoned for up to 5 years.
