What do I need to bring with me to vote?

You need to bring a valid ID that has both a photo of you on it and your signature, such as a driver's license, U.S. passport, military ID, etc. Note: Your voter identification card is not an acceptable form of ID.

Acceptable forms of ID include:

  • Florida driver's license
  • Florida identification card
  • U.S. Passport
  • Debit or Credit card (remember, you need photo and signature)
  • Miliary ID

What if I forgot my ID?

When will the election results start to come out?

Polls will close at 7 p.m. Shortly after polls close, preliminary results are expected to be released within 30 minutes.

In Florida, early voting and vote-by-mail ballots turned in to early voting sites are allowed to be tabulated (counted) as they're turned in, though the results cannot be released before polls close (that's against state law).

Here's how Florida counts ballots on Election Day

Under Florida law, all early voting ballots have to be counted and submitted to the Florida Division of Elections by 7 p.m. on Monday, the night before Election Day.

Once polls close, initial results will be released. Workers will then count and tabulate ballots filled out during Election Day. Those results have to be submitted no late than Wednesday morning.
