Identification Required to Vote

Identification at the Polls

State law (section 101.043, Florida Statutes) requires a person to bring photo and signature identification before a person can vote.

The acceptable forms of identification are:

• 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.

The voter identification cards voters received in the mail from the Elections office are not approved ID and are not necessary at the polls.

However, if a person does not bring an acceptable form of identification, the person can still vote a provisional ballot.  A person who votes a provisional ballot will be given written notice of his or her rights as a provisional ballot voter.
