Florida
Updated Oct 12, 2020
Register to vote
Your deadline to register online is October 6. You can register here.
If registering by mail, make sure it's postmarked by October 6, or received by October 6 if done in person!
Get your ballot
You can request an absentee ballot without an excuse.
Make sure your application is received by October 24 whether returning it in person, by mail, or applying online.
Fill in your ballot
Make sure you completely fill in your selections and double-check everything you write in.
Not sure where to research candidates and referendums? Resources like BallotReady provide clear, non-partisan explanations for everything.
Sign and seal
Most ballots have specific instructions on how and where to sign and seal both ballot and envelope. Read the instructions carefully.
Your ballot may also require you to enclose a copy of your photo ID.
Mail in or drop off ballot
In Florida, your voted ballot must be returned to your local Elections Office, at early voting sites, or via secure drop boxes. Use our search tool or check with your local election officials for updates on drop box locations closer to the election. Updated information for the general election is still awaited, so please check back soon!
Make sure to drop your ballot off by N/A.
If sending by mail, your ballot needs to be postmarked by November 3, but you want to send it as soon as possible to allow ample time for processing.
