Most citizens with felony convictions will automatically have voting rights restored upon completion of their sentence, including payment of fines and fees. Must not have been found mentally incapacitated without having rights restored.

    If you’re 16 or 17, you can PRE-REGISTER to vote—meaning you’ll get added to the voter rolls once you turn 18.

HOW TO VOTE

VOTING-BY-MAIL

  • In Florida, you can request an absentee ballot through the mail. This gives voters the option to mail their ballots to their Supervisor of Elections or complete it at home and turn it in to their local elections officials, too.

    You have to request one each election cycle: click here.

  • Each election cycle. If you voted by mail in 2022, you’ll need to re-request before 2024 for the Presidential Election, too. The deadline to request is October 24, 2024.

    Click here to request your vote-by-mail ballot.

  • You can turn in your ballot through the mail—or you can turn in your mail ballot in-person.

    You can bring your ballot to your polling place on election day or to an early voting site or turn it in directly to your supervisor of elections office.

    Find your Supervisor of Elections here.

  • Your completed ballot must be received or delivered in person or by mail to your local Supervisor of Elections’ office no later than 7:00 pm on the day of the election.  

    We recommend mailing your ballot back ASAP and delivering it in-person after November 1st to ensure it is received.

  • If you won’t be home or in the state of Florida on Election Day, voting by mail is one of the best ways to make your voice heard.

    Floridians who go to out-of-state schools can request a ballot be mailed to their campus address, folks with accessibility concerns can vote from the comfort of their homes, or if you don’t have access to reliable transportation, this can help, too.

    Request your mail ballot -or- find your Supervisor of Elections here.
