Tuesday is the deadline to register to vote in Florida

Anyone who wants to vote in the 2022 elections in Florida, and isn’t already registered, faces a Tuesday, Oct. 11, deadline.

People can register in person by mail and online.

People registering or updating their registrations online will need their Florida driver license or Florida identification card and the last four digits of their Social Security number, the Secretary of State’s Office said. To verify a user’s identity, the information typed into the online voter registration website must exactly match the information that appears on their most recent Florida driver license or state ID card.

Registration forms can be mailed or brought in to a county supervisor of elections office.

In-person registration is available at supervisor of elections offices, government offices such as tax collectors that issue driver licenses or state ID cards and government offices that include public assistance, public libraries or Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles driver license offices. Someone renewing a driver license or state ID card online can also register during that process.
