If you have ever been convicted of a felony or if a court has ever found you to be mentally incapacitated with respect to voting, your right must be restored before you can register. Effective January 8, 2019, Amendment 4 will restore the rights of certain convicted felons upon completion of all terms of a sentence including parole or probation. The Amendment does not indicate that any particular steps or actions need to be taken by the previously disqualified person, other than completing the terms of a sentence including parole or probation, which may require some form of payments or restitution.

Address Change
The residential address on your voter registration record determines your Election Day voting location and the candidates and issues available for you to vote on in any election. To avoid going to the incorrect voting location and having to complete a change of address before voting, please ensure the Elections Office has your current address on file.
Changes to your residential or mailing address within the State of Florida can be made by any of the following ways:
- Online: RegisterToVoteFlorida.Gov
- By phone: 772-226-4700
- Email: [email protected]
- Voter Registration Application (paper)
- Signed Written Notice
IMPORTANT: If you are submitting an address change (online, by phone, or electronic means), you must provide your date of birth and either your Florida Driver License number, Florida ID Card number, or the last four digits of your Social Security number, whichever may be verified in the supervisor’s records.
Political Party Change
Florida is a Closed Primary State. In partisan office contests in a primary election, a voter may only vote for the candidates of the party in which the voter is registered. Voters registered with no party affiliation (NPA) are not eligible to vote for partisan candidates in a primary election. All registered voters regardless of party affiliation are entitled to vote on non-partisan candidates and issues in a primary election.
In a General Election, all registered voters receive the same ballot regardless of party affiliation and are eligible to vote for any candidate/issue.
You can update your party affiliation at any time, however, party changes must be made at least 29 days prior to an election in order for the party change to be effective for the upcoming election. For more information, visit our Closed Primary Election page.
To update or change your party affiliation submit a Florida Voter Registration Application or complete the online voter application.
Name Change
If your name changes by marriage or other legal process, submit a Florida Voter Registration Application or complete the online voter application.
Signature Update
Over time signatures may begin to change and voters with physical disabilities or those affected by disease may have difficulty maintaining a consistent signature. Your signature on file with the Elections Office is used to verify your signature on a vote-by-mail ballot, provisional ballot, candidate petition, or initiative petition.
To update your signature or identifying mark by submitting a Florida Voter Registration Application and return by mail or in person to the Supervisor of Elections office.
