How and Where to Register to Vote

En Español

The State of Florida has implemented a statewide voter registration system effective January 1, 2006. A Florida resident may register to vote at any location throughout the State using the Florida Voter Registration Application Form. The voter's county of registration will be decided by his or her residence address within the state. Once registered in the State of Florida, if a voter moves to another address within Florida, a change of address may be submitted even if the voter crosses into another county. The deadline for a new Florida voter registration is always 29 days before the upcoming election.

To register to vote, a person must:

Be a citizen of the United States.
Be a Florida resident.
Be 18 years old to vote. May pre-register at age 16.
Not now be adjudicated mentally incapacitated with respect to voting in Florida or any other state.
Not have been convicted of a felony in Florida, or any other state, without your civil rights having been restored.
Provide your current and valid Florida driver's license number or Florida identification card number. If you do not have a current and valid Florida driver's license or Florida Identification card, you must provide the last four digits of your Social Security number. If you do not have a FL DL#, FL ID Card#, or SSN, then you must indicate so when filling our your application by writing NONE in the space provided.

In addition to our main office at 119 West Kaley Street in Orlando, you may register to vote at any Driver's License office, public library or at most post offices.
