Florida is a closed-primary state

The Florida Division of Elections states that Florida uses a closed-primary system. In most partisan primary elections, voters may vote only for candidates of the party in which they are registered.

Registration records should be kept current

Voters should update their address, name, signature, and party affiliation when needed and verify their information through official state or county election resources.

Felony convictions have separate eligibility rules

Florida maintains specific standards for voting after a felony conviction. Eligibility depends on the offense and, for many convictions, completion of all terms of sentence.
