As students walk to and from classes they may be asked, “Are you registered to vote?”
Soon those volunteers you saw throughout campus will disappear, as the deadline to be registered to vote in the state of Florida is Oct.11. If you are not registered by then you will become ineligible to vote in this year’s critical presidential election.
In order to register to vote in the state of Florida, you must be an American citizen, be a Florida resident, and be over 18 years old. You will be ineligible to vote if you have been deemed mentally unable to vote, or if you are a convicted felon who has not had their voting rights restored.
If you meet these criteria then you must provide your valid Florida driver’s license number or Florida identification card number. If you do not have either of these identifications, you must provide the last four digits of your social security number. If you have not been issued any of these three identification numbers you must indicate you have none of these numbers.
Once you have determined you’re eligible, you must print out the application to register found here.
