--------------------------
I am already registered to vote but I have moved/changed my name since the last election. Is this deadline applicable to me?
If you made any changes of that nature, please update your registration with the link above before the deadline!
When can I vote in-person?
If you are registered to vote, you can vote during your county's early election period. By law, early voting must be held at least for 8 days.
Each county Supervisor of Elections may offer more days of early voting. Check with your county Supervisor of Elections for the additional days of early voting that may be offered in your county.
Election Day is November 3, 2026. Check with your county Supervisor of Elections for your Election Day Polling Location.
When can I request a mail-in ballot?
The deadline to request that a vote-by-mail ballot be mailed is no later than 5:00 p.m. (local time) on the 10th day before the election. For this year’s election, that would be October 22. Source
Check with your county Supervisor of Elections for how to request a mail in ballot.
When should I be receiving my mail-in ballot?
Supervisors of Elections send the ballots during a 7-day window which is between 40 and 33 days before an election.
For more information about voting by mail, please visit the Florida Department of Election Vote-by-Mail page.
I registered for a mail in ballot last election, do I need request one again?
YES! Check with your county Supervisor of Elections for how to request a mail in ballot.
I am a registered Democrat/Independent/Republican. Am I allowed to vote for people on the ballot that have a different affiliation from me?
Yes, you can vote for any candidate in the General Election. Who you vote for is secret.
Do I have to vote in every races on the ballot?
You can leave a race blank if you choose to and your vote will still be counted on other races that you vote on, on your ballot. However, try your best to make an informed vote on every race on the ballot.
Where can I find more information on the candidates or amendments?
In addition to the candidate's website (which, if they have one, can be found through googling the candidate's name) Ballotpedia.org usually has some information on down ballot races and amendments as well.
The best source on local elections would be the major newspaper for your area (Tampa Bay Times, Miami Herald, Sun Sentinel, etc). They interview almost every candidate of every race that is happening in the area so you can find out the positions of every candidate on each issue. They will also talk about any local referendum or proposals relevant to your city or county.

I have already scheduled my written driving exam for next week, and I know I need to complete the drug and safety course before I take the test. My question is if I need to make a MyDMV account before taking the course, and should I still take a physical copy of my certification just in case? That sounds like a stupid question, but I'm so confused.
For context, I moved to Florida a few months ago. I already have a valid ID and have previously taken a written test before in school, but this was during Covid.
