To apply to register to vote, fill in the PDF form online and print it out, or print the form and write in the information. Please use a black ballpoint pen. THE FLORIDA VOTER REGISTRATION APPLICATION FORM REQUIRES AN ORIGINAL SIGNATURE. If the PDF form is filled in online, it must be printed out and signed prior to mailing.

The online Florida Voter Registration Application Form can be used to begin the process to:
  • Register to vote in the State of Florida.
  • Change your name or address.
  • Replace your defaced, lost, or stolen registration identification card.
  • Register with a political party or change party affiliation.
  • Update your signature.

Notice: In order to register to vote in Florida, a citizen must swear or affirm an oath and sign the voter registration application form. The online PDF form begins the registration process. If your application is complete and you qualify as a voter, the Supervisor of Elections will mail you a registration identification card as official notification of your registration. If you have any questions, call your county Supervisor of Elections office.
