Some individuals may not recognize that you need to register first before you can vote in the State of Florida. To register to vote in Florida, you’ll have to follow these procedures:
First, establish whether you are eligible 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. Instead of these items you are required to check the space indicated on the registration form as NONE.
When you meet the requirements, you will next want to complete a Florida voter registration application. Fill out the Voter Registration Application. Fill out all fields. Print the application out. Confirm all information on your application is provided. The place you register, your SSN, Drivers licence number and ID card number remain confidential and are used only for registration requirements. Sign the application. An original signature is required because you are swearing and/or affirming to an oath. Mail your application on to your trusty county Supervisor of Elections. You can opt to mail or deliver by hand this application to any Supervisor of Elections office in the state, the DMV, a registration agency, an armed forces office, or the Division of Elections office.
Many people often inquire if they need to find a florida notary public to notarize the application. As of the date of this article, notarizing is not a necessity. 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 organization, an armed forces recruitment office, the Division of Elections, or the office of any supervisor of elections in the state will be your registration date. You have to be registered for at least 29 days till you can vote in an election. If your application is complete and you are certified as a voter, a voter information card shall be mailed to you. Remember to meticulously review the application. If the info you provide isn’t true, you possibly can be convicted of a felony of the third degree and fined up to$ 5, 000 and/or imprisoned for up to 5yrs.
