How Can I Register to Vote?

You can apply to register to vote in any of the following ways: 

  • Online at RegisterToVoteFlorida.gov
  • Through any tax collector's office that issues Florida driver licenses or state identification cards.  You can also submit voter registration information when you renew your driver license or identification card through the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles' online renewal system. For more information, visit GoRenew.com.
  • Through any designated voter registration agency.
  • By mail or in person. The statewide voter registration application form (DS-DE 39) is available under Forms to prefill and print or download. Contact information for your county Supervisor of Elections can be found here.

Paper application forms may be found at any county Supervisor of Elections office, local library, or any entity authorized by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission to issue fishing, hunting, or trapping permits. If you are a military or overseas U.S. citizen, you may register to vote and request a vote-by-mail ballot at the same time by using one form, the Federal Post Card Application (FPCA). Go to the web page on Military and Overseas Voting for further details.

It is a 3rd degree felony to submit false information. Maximum penalties are $5,000 and/or 5 years in prison. 

How Do I Update My Voter Registration Record?

To update your voter registration record including a change in name, address or party, submit a change using any of the options available under “How Can I Register to Vote?”.

For any other questions, call or email your county Supervisor of Elections.

Signature Update

Signatures change over time due to age, illness or other reasons.  The signature in your voter record is used to verify and/or compare your signature on a written request for a vote-by-mail ballot, a certificate for a vote-by-mail ballot or provisional ballot, a candidate petition, an issue petition, or any signed writing requesting a ballot or making another change. Please update your signature using a voter registration application (DS-DE 39) which can be found under Forms. See F.S. 98.077.

Voter Information Cards

Your Supervisor of Elections’ office will mail you a voter information card when you register new or update your registration record and also when a polling place is changed. The card includes your party affiliation, assigned precinct and polling place, and your assigned district offices (local, state, and federal). 

To request a replacement card, call or email your county Supervisor of Elections. Voter information cards are not issued at the state level.

Note:  The card cannot be used as a form of identification at the polls.
