Florida voters can update registration information when they move, change their name, change party affiliation, or need to correct an existing record.

Online registration is available

The Florida Division of Elections directs voters to RegisterToVoteFlorida.gov for new online registrations and updates to existing records.

Party changes can affect primary participation

Because Florida uses a closed-primary system, party affiliation can determine which partisan primary contests a voter is eligible to participate in.

For an upcoming primary, the affiliation change must be completed by the applicable registration deadline.

Your county election office can help

County Supervisors of Elections can help voters verify registration status, obtain replacement voter-information cards, and answer local questions about precincts, early voting, and vote-by-mail procedures.

Verify after making a change

Do not assume an update was processed correctly. Review the official voter record after submitting changes and contact the county office if the information appears wrong.

This is procedural information only. Party registration is an individual choice, and voters should make that decision for themselves.
