Florida voters generally need to present a current and valid photo ID that includes a signature. Acceptable forms include a Florida driver’s license, Florida identification card, U.S. passport, and certain other approved identification documents.

Review the official Florida voting identification requirements if you have questions about acceptable identification.

It is also a good idea to review your voter registration information and sample ballot before voting.
