You’ve probably been hearing plenty of reminders to register to vote for the November election before the deadline on Monday, October 7th.
But where exactly can you register to vote in Southwest Florida?

If you've voted before in Florida and haven't changed your address, you'll first want to check to see if you're already registered.

To do so, you can go online to your county's supervisor of elections website. There, you’ll be able to enter your first and last name, and birth date, and see if you’re good to go.

You can also go in person to a county elections office - all of which are still open after Hurricane Helene.

If you’re not registered, there are three ways to get there.

After making sure that you have your driver’s license or other Florida ID within reach, you can go online to your county’s Supervisor of Elections website.

You can also register in person, at one of your county’s elections offices - or, mail them a completed registration form, printed off that same supervisor of elections website.

After entering in your information, you’re all ready to vote!

If you’re planning on voting by mail, keep in mind that the statewide deadline to request a mail-in ballot is by 5 PM on Oct 24th.

If you’re planning on voting before Election Day, you can find information on the timelines to do so on your county’s supervisor of elections website.
