You can apply to register to vote in any of the following ways:
Paper application forms may be found at any county Supervisor of Elections office, local library, or any entity authorized by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission to issue fishing, hunting, or trapping permits. The form contains detailed information as to how to submit the form to your county Supervisor of Elections. If you are a military or overseas U.S. citizen, you may register to vote and request a vote-by-mail ballot at the same time by using the Federal Post Card Application (FPCA). Go to the web page on Military and Overseas Voting for further details.
It is a 3rd degree felony to submit false information. Maximum penalties are $5,000 and/or 5 years in prison.
If you are already registered to vote in Florida but you need to update any information on your voter registration record, you can submit a change using any of the options available under “How Can I Register to Vote?”.
For name and party changes, you must use either the online voter registration system or the paper form and it must include your Florida driver license number or Florida identification card number, or the last 4 digits of your social security number, whichever may be verified in the supervisor’s records.
For an address change, you can use the online voter registration system or the paper form but alternatively, you may call or submit by available electronic means the change to your county Supervisor of Elections.
For any other questions, call or email your county Supervisor of Elections.
When you register to vote or update your voter registration record (e.g., change to your address, name or political party), your Supervisor of Elections’ office will mail you a new or updated voter information card. Review the card to make sure all information is correct. Keep the card with you as the card lists important information about your registration record and where to vote. The card includes your party affiliation, assigned precinct and polling place, and your assigned district offices (local, state, and federal).
To replace a lost card, call or email your county Supervisor of Elections.
Note: The card cannot be used as a form of identification at the polls.

The deadline to submit a party change before a primary election is 29 days before that election.
