TAX & LICENSE / VOTING RESOURCES
You may register to vote if you are a U.S. citizen, at least 18 years of age (you can pre-register at 17), and you are not a convicted felon unless your civil rights have been restored. You can apply to register to vote at any time. However, to vote in an election, you must be registered in the county where you live by the book closing date, usually the 29th day before each election. Absentee ballots can be requested from the County Supervisor of Elections by mail, telephone, or via website. Provide the last four digits of your Social Security Number, your name, residence address, date of birth, and voter identification number.
Registration is free of charge and permanent unless you change your name, address, telephone number, or political party affiliation. Federal and State laws require you to vote in the precinct of your residence. Registration in Florida is available in a number of convenient locations, including many public offices, driver’s license testing sites, public libraries, and any Supervisor of Elections Office. You may also call the Division of Elections and request a registration application through the mail, or you can request an application online:
