In Florida, we’re choosing our next U.S. Senator and voting for President, as well as who will represent us in our state legislature, courts, school board, and so much more. We also have six important constitutional amendments on the ballot. Your vote matters! Thousands of Gen Z and millennial voters are casting ballots now, so make your plan to vote today. Remember, who you vote for is always private, but whether you vote is public record so we hope to see you on the list of young voters for 2024!
Let’s make sure you’re vote ready in three simple steps:
Register to vote or update your voter registration to change address or party affiliation.
You must be registered to vote 29 days before Election Day. Register to vote or update your address and/or party affiliation online here. You can check your current status here.
Did you know? Florida has closed primaries, so only registered party voters can participate in primary elections for important races like Governor and State Legislature. Be sure to choose a political party to participate in primary elections.
Request your vote by mail ballot.
Request your vote by mail ballot:
- A new state law requires all Florida voters to re-submit their vote-by-mail request after every General Election (every two years). If you registered for vote-by-mail before December 2022, that means your request expired.
- You can request a vote-by-mail ballot be sent to you up until 5 p.m. on the 12th day before any election. It’s important to request and mail your vote-by-mail ballot as soon as possible.
- The ballot must be returned and arrive at the elections department by 7 p.m. on Election Day (it can also be dropped off at a drop box, or returned by designee – see your options here).
- Make sure to sign your ballot with the same signature as you have on your Voter Registration card.
- USPS recommends vote by mail be mailed at least a week in advance to ensure it will arrive by Election Day. If it is a week before the election and you still have your vote by mail ballot, we recommend dropping it off or voting in person.
