How And Where to Register To Vote

To register you must:

	be a U.S. citizen
	be a legal resident of the Florida county in which you wish to register
	be 18 years old (you may pre-register if you are 17, but must be 18 to vote)
	not now be adjudicated mentally incapacitated with respect to voting in Florida or any other state
	not have been convicted of a felony without your civil rights having been restored pursuant to law
	not claim the right to vote in another county or state

How to register:

You may register to vote in person at the Elections Office, driver's license offices, public libraries, HRS centers and state offices that serve persons with disabilities. You may also register by mail. Mail registration applications are available at most banks, post offices, schools, libraries, city halls, or community centers, as well as many businesses throughout the county. You may also call the Flagler County Elections Office at (386) 313-4170 to have an application mailed to you or you may complete and print an application here. You may print a blank application here. The application must be signed and returned to the elections office. You may bring the the completed application to the Supervisor of Elections Office at 1769 E. Moody Blvd, Building 2, Suite 101, Bunnell or if you prefer, you may mail it to us at P.O. Box 901, Bunnell, FL 32110.

If you register by mail and you have never voted in Florida, and you have not been issued a Florida Driver's License, Florida Identification Card or Social Security Number, you will be required to provide additional identification prior to voting the first time. To assure that you will not have problems when you go to vote, you should provide a copy of the required identification at the time you mail your voter registration application.

All voters are required to provide ID containing photo and signature at the time of voting in the polling place. Without proper identification, a voter can only vote a provisional ballot.

You may provide a copy of one of the following photo identifications (ID) that includes your name and picture:
Florida Driver's License, Florida ID Card, U.S. Passport, Employee Badge or ID, Buyers Club ID, Debit/Credit Card, Military ID, Student ID, Retirement Center ID, Neighborhood Association ID or Public Assistance ID.

Or you may provide a copy of one of the following documents that contains your name and current residence address.
Utility Bill, Bank Statement, Government Check, Paycheck or other Government Document.

Please do not send original identification documents.

If you meet any one of the following exemptions, you are not required to provide the additional identification:

• If you are 65 years of age or older

• If you have a permanent or temporary disability

• If you currently reside out of the country but are eligible to vote in Florida

• If you are an active member of the uniformed service or merchant marine (or spouse or dependent) who, by reason of such active duty, are absent from the country

When to register:

You can apply to register to vote at any time. However, registration books close 29 days before each election. (Books remain open for the General Election even though they may be closed for the Primaries.)

You must be registered for at least 29 days before you can vote in an election. If you mail your registration application, the date your application is postmarked will be your registration date. If your application is complete and you are a qualified voter, a voter identification card will be mailed to you.

Your Flagler County voter registration will permit you to vote in national, state, county and municipal elections, if you live in a municipality. Registration is permanent as long as you remain a legal resident of Flagler County (you must notify us of any change of address) and do not lose your civil rights due to a felony conviction or adjudication of mental incompetence.

Party Affiliation:

You may register in any political party of your choice or register with no party affiliation; however, only registered party members may vote in their party's primary.

Exception: If all candidates for an office have the same party affiliation and the winner will have no opposition in the general election, then all qualified voters, regardless of party affiliation, may vote in the primary election for that office. When this happens, it is called a "Universal Primary Contest."

Nonpartisan judicial and school board offices are included in a primary election. All registered voters are entitled to vote on these nonpartisan offices and on any issues in a primary election.

At general elections, all voters receive the same ballot and may vote for any candidate or question on the ballot.
