but cannot vote until you are 18).
If you have been convicted of a felony, or if a court has

Where to Register: You can register to vote by completing this application and delivering it in person or by mail to
any supervisor of elections’ office, office that issues driver’s licenses, or voter registration agency (public assistance
office, center for independent living, office serving persons with disabilities, public library, or armed forces recruitment
office) or the Division of Elections. Mailing addresses are on page 2 of this form.
Deadline to Register: The deadline to register to vote is 29 days before any election. You can update your
registration record at any time, but for a Primary Election, party changes must be completed 29 days before that
election. You will be contacted if your new application is incomplete, denied or a duplicate of an existing registration.
Your Voter Information Card will be mailed to you once you are registered.
Identification (ID) Requirements: New applicants must provide a current and valid Florida driver’s license number
(FL DL#) or Florida identification card number (FL ID#). If you do not have a FL DL# or FL ID#, then you must provide
the last four digits of your Social Security number (SSN). If you do not have any of these numbers, check “None.” If
you leave the field and box blank, your new registration may be denied. See section 97.053(6), Fla.Stat.
Special ID requirements: If you are registering by mail, have never voted in Florida, and have never been issued one
of the ID numbers above, include one of the following with your application, or at a later time before you vote: 1) A
copy of an ID that shows your name and photo (acceptable IDs--U.S. Passport, debit or credit card, military ID,
student ID, retirement center ID, neighborhood association ID, or public assistance ID); or 2) A copy of an ID that
shows your name and current residence address (acceptable documents--utility bill, bank statement, government
check, paycheck, or other government document).
The special ID is not required if you are 65 or older, have a temporary or permanent physical disability, are a member
of the active uniformed services or merchant marine who is absent from the county for active duty, or a spouse or
dependent thereof, or are currently living outside the U.S. but otherwise eligible to vote in Florida.

vote for their registered party’s candidates in a partisan race on the ballot. In a primary election, all registered voters,
regardless of party affiliation, can vote on any issue, nonpartisan race, and race where a candidate faces no
opposition in the General Election. If you do not indicate your party affiliation, you will be registered with no party
