More Information
Florida is a closed primary state. Only voters who are registered members of political parties may vote for respective party candidates for an office in a primary election.
Any registered Florida voter may apply for an absentee ballot and vote by mail. Ballots must be requested every election cycle according to the state's new voter law, Senate Bill 90. Voters are required to provide either a state ID number or the last 4 digits of their social security number in order to vote by mail. There is no alternative proof one can provide.
If you are voting in person in Florida, you must present one of the following valid forms of ID that shows your photo and signature at the time you vote:
- Florida driver’s license
- Florida ID card
- US passport
- Debit or credit card
- Military ID
- Student ID
- Retirement center ID
- Neighborhood association ID
- Public assistance ID
- Veteran health ID card
- License to carry a concealed weapon or firearm
- Employee ID card issued by the federal government, the state of Florida, or any county or municipality
If your ID does not contain your signature, then you need to bring another ID that contains your signature.
