Voters must provide photo/signature ID at the polls. Approved forms of ID are current:
Florida driver license, DHSMV-issued Florida ID, US passport, debit or credit card, military ID, student ID, retirement center ID, neighborhood association ID, public assistance ID, a veteran health ID card issued by the US Department of Veterans Affairs, a Florida license to carry a concealed weapon or an employee ID issued by a Florida branch, department, agency or entity of the federal government, the state, a county or a municipality. If the ID presented at the polls contains a photo, but no signature, the voter will be asked to provide an additional form of acceptable ID with their signature.
Voters are encouraged to review their individual sample ballots in advance to save time at the polls.
