Voting Information

ID Requirements

When voting in person you are required to provide current and valid photo ID with signature.
If you don’t have proper ID, you must vote a provisional ballot.


Acceptable forms of identification include:

  • Florida driver license


  • Florida identification card issued by the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles

  • United States passport


  • Debit or credit card


  • Military identification


  • Student identification


  • Retirement center identification
  • Neighborhood association identification

  • Public assistance identification

  • Veteran heath ID card issued by U.S. Dept. of Veterans Affairs

  • License to carry a concealed weapon or firearm issued pursuant to section 790.06, F.S.

  • Employee ID card issued by any branch, department, agency, or entity of the Federal Government, the state, county, or a municipality. If the photo ID does not contain the signature of the elector, an additional ID that provides the elector’s signature shall be required.

Provisional Ballots

In all elections, a voter claiming to be properly registered in the county and eligible to vote at the precinct in the election, but whose eligibility cannot be determined is entitled to vote a provisional ballot.

A voter may have to vote a provisional ballot:

  • If a voter does not provide the proper photo and signature Identification
  • If a voter's name doesn't appear in the electronic poll book and the voter's eligibility cannot be determined
  • If polling hours are extended for any reason, any voter who was not in line at 7 PM must vote a provisional ballot. The provisional ballot will be counted, but this method allows for separation of any vote totals cast after 7 PM should any legal challenges arise

Provisional ballots are:

  • Sealed in an envelope and kept separate from the regular voted ballots
  • Returned to the Elections Office where they are reviewed by the Canvassing Board which determines whether the ballot will be counted
  • Counted if a determination is made that the person:
  • Voted in the correct precinct
  • Is registered and entitled to vote
  • Has not already cast a ballot in the election

The provisional ballot will never be opened if rejected as illegal

Section 101.048 (1), Florida Statutes, states that a person casting a provisional ballot shall have the right to present written evidence supporting his or her eligibility to vote to the Supervisor of Elections by not later than 5 PM on the second day following the election.
