not be a person convicted of a felony without having your right to vote restored
not claim the right to vote in any other county or state
provide your current and valid Florida driver's license number or Florida identification card number. If you do not have a current and valid Florida license or identification card, you must provide the last four digits of your Social Security number.

Registering is as simple as completing the application and mailing it or dropping it off to the Supervisor of Elections Office of the applicable County. Once registered, you are eligible to vote in all federal, state, county, and municipal elections. If you move from Florida, you must register in your new state of residency.
