Monday, February 8th, 2010

Some people may not recognize that you need to register first before you are able to vote in the State of Florida. To sign up to vote in Florida, you will have to follow these points:

For starters, figure out if you are eligible to vote in Florida. The individual:

Must be a US citizen, Must be a resident of the State of Florida, Must be at least 18 years old(pre-registration to vote is allowed if you are 16 years old), Must NOT be considered mentally incapacitated, Must NOT have been convicted of a felony without your civil rights having been restored, Must produce a valid existing Florida drivers license or ID card, or Must provide the last four digits of your SSN if you do not have a Florida drivers license or ID card. Instead of these items you have to check the box indicated on the registration form as NONE.

For those who are eligible, you will next need to complete a Florida voters registration application. Fill out the Voter Registration Application. Fill out all fields. Print the application out. Confirm all info on your application is provided. The place you register, your SSN, Drivers license number and ID card number are confidential and are used only for registration purposes. Sign the application. Your original signature is required because you are swearing or affirming to an oath. Mail your application to your trusty county Supervisor of Elections. You can opt to mail or deliver by hand an application to any Supervisor of Elections office in the state, the DMV, a registration company, an armed forces office, or the Division of Elections office.

Many people often ask whether or not they need to find a notary in florida to notarize the application. As of the date of this short article, notarizing isn’t a necessity. If this is a new registration application in Florida, the date the completed application is postmarked or hand delivered to a drivers license office, a voter registration agency, an armed forces recruitment office, the Division of Elections, or the office of any supervisor of elections in the state shall be your registration date. You are required to be registered not less than 29 days till you can vote in an election. If your application is complete and you become certified as a voter, a voter information card will be mailed to you. You’ll want to diligently review the application. If the information you provide is not accurate, you possibly can be convicted of a felony of the third degree and fined up to$ 5, 000 and/or imprisoned for up to 5 years.
