You can use any of these options to update your voter registration record.

You can update your existing Florida voter registration record at any time. However, if you wish to change your party affiliation before a primary election, you must make the change at least 29 days before that election.

You can view the dates for the next election on our Dates and Deadlines page. 

Your address determines your Election Day polling place and ballot. We also send official election mail to your address on file. If you move and don’t update your address, your registration may become inactive or be removed. To stay registered, update your address as soon as possible.

Your signature is used to verify your identify on petitions, Vote-by-Mail ballot certificates, and other documents. A signature mismatch could cause your Vote-by-Mail ballot to be rejected. 

We automatically update your signature on record with our office when you vote in person, complete a paper voter registration application, or update your information when getting a driver’s license or state ID card. 

If your signature has changed, it is important to update the record with our office. You can update your signature by completing a paper voter registration application (PDF) and sending it to our office. We must receive your signature update before we receive your Vote-by-Mail ballot. We can accept your signature update by mail or hand-delivery:

• Mail: P.O. Box 7357, Tallahassee, FL 32314-7357
• Hand-delivery: 2990-1 Apalachee Parkway, Tallahassee, FL 32301

You are not required to register with a political party. However, Florida is a “closed primary” election state. The races and candidates that appear on your primary election ballot depend on your party affiliation. You may only vote in a partisan race in a primary election if you are a registered member of that political party. However, there are non-partisan races on the primary ballot. You can vote in these races regardless of your party affiliation. In addition, if all candidates for an office have the same party affiliation, and the winner of the primary will be elected to office, then you can vote in that race regardless of party affiliation. This is known as an “universal primary.”

In a general election, you can vote for any candidates on your ballot, regardless of party affiliation.

You can view a list of political parties on the Division of Elections Political Party webpage.

If you need to make other changes to your voter registration record, such as a change to your phone number or email address, you can use any of the methods listed above to update your information.

If you have lost your voter information card, you can easily request a replacement. All you need to do is complete a voter registration application and select "Request to Replace Voter Information Card" on the form. We will then mail you a new card. 

Please note that your voter information card is not a form of ID and you do not need to bring it with you when you vote in person. Visit our Voter Information Card page to learn more. 

If you no longer wish to be a registered voter, you can cancel your Florida voter registration. Please complete a Cancelation of Registration form (PDF) and we will deactivate your Florida voter registration record. You can return this form by mail, email, fax, or hand delivery to our office. Please see the form for further instructions.

If a family member has passed away, please contact us at Vote@LeonVotes.gov so we can ensure that their voter registration record is canceled.
