Voter Registration Deadline

What the Voter Registration Deadline Is

The voter registration deadline is the last day you can register to vote or update your voter information in order to be eligible to vote in the upcoming election.

If you miss this deadline, you will not be able to vote in this election—even on Election Day.

Who the Registration Deadline Is For

You must register or update your registration by the deadline if any of the following apply to you:

• You have never registered to vote in Florida
• You recently moved (even within the same county)
• You changed your name
• You want to update your party affiliation
• You are unsure whether your registration is current

If your information has changed and you don’t update it by the deadline, you may not be eligible to vote.

When Is the Deadline?

In Florida, the voter registration deadline is 29 days before Election Day.

Your registration must be received and processed by this date—not just mailed.
