Some people may not realize that you need to register first before you have the ability to vote in the State of Florida. To signup to vote in Florida, you’ll have to follow these points:

First, determine if you are able to vote in Florida. A person:

Must be a US citizen, Must be a resident of the State of Florida, Must be at least 18 years old(pre-registration to vote is allowed if you are 16 years old), Must NOT be considered mentally incapacitated, Must NOT have been convicted of a felony without your civil rights having been restored, Must provide a valid current Florida drivers license or ID card, or Must provide the last four digits of your SSN if you do not have a Florida drivers license or ID card. In lieu of these items you are required to check the space indicated on the registration form as NONE.

If you meet the requirements, you’ll next need to complete a Florida voter registration application. Fill out the Voter Registration Application. Fill out all fields. Print the application out. Ensure all information on your application is provided. The place you register, your SSN, Drivers license number and ID card number stay confidential and also are used only for registration purposes. Sign the application. An original signature is needed because you are swearing and/or affirming to an oath. Send your application to your trusty county Supervisor of Elections. You can opt to mail or deliver by hand your application to any Supervisor of Elections office in the state, the DMV, a registration company, an armed forces office, or the Division of Elections office.

Lots of people ask whether or not they need to find a florida public notary to notarize the application. As of the date of this article, notarizing is not necessary. If this is a new registration application in Florida, the date the complete application is postmarked or hand delivered to a drivers license office, a voter registration firm, an armed forces recruitment office, the Division of Elections, or the office of any supervisor of elections in the state is going to be your registration date. You must be registered for at least twenty nine days before you can vote in an election. If your application is complete and you become qualified as a voter, a voter information card shall be mailed to you. Remember to very carefully check the application. If the information you provide is not true, you possibly can be convicted of a felony of the third degree and fined as much as$ 5, 000 and/or imprisoned for up to five years.
