High School Students (Ages 16–18)

    • If you have a Florida driver license or ID, you can register online.
    • Without one, you’ll need to print and mail your application to our office.
  • Already 18 and registered? Check your registration information on our Voter Information Lookup page.

College Students

  • You must be registered at least 29 days before an election to vote in that election.

  • You only need to register once, but must keep your address and other details updated.

  • If you move within your county or to another Florida county, you may update your address anytime—even on Election Day.

  • Decide which address to use when registering:
    • You may use your campus address or your family’s address, depending on where you consider your permanent residence.
    • You can only be registered and vote in one location.
    • The address you choose determines where you vote and the races on your ballot.
  • You can provide a separate mailing address to receive Vote by Mail ballots.
    • For example:
      • If you’re registered in Martin County but attending college in Tallahassee, request your ballot from Martin County.
      • If you’re attending school in Tallahassee and registered using your Tallahassee campus address, you must request your ballot from Leon County.
