Are there secure drop boxes where I can cast my ballot?
Yes, all 21 early voting sites have secure drop boxes.
Can someone else drop off my ballot?
The SOE’s website says once your ballot is completed, sealed, dated and signed, it can be delivered by any mail carrier, trusted family member or friend. You can also drop off your own ballot, the ballot(s) of immediate family members, plus two other ballots.
What do I need to cast my vote?
You’ll need an acceptable photo ID. Here’s what is accepted:
Florida Driver LicenseFlorida ID Card (issued by DHSMV)U.S. PassportDebit or Credit CardMilitary IDStudent IDRetirement Center IDNeighborhood Association IDPublic Assistance IDVeteran Health ID (issued by the US Department of Veterans Affairs)Concealed Weapon License (issued pursuant to F.S. 790.06)Employee ID card issued by any branch, department, agency, or entity of the Federal Government, the state, a county, or a municipality.
The Broward County SOE’s website notes that if your photo ID doesn’t include a signature, you’ll be asked to provide another ID that has a signature. If you don’t bring your ID, you may still vote. However, you will be required to vote using a provisional ballot, which will later be evaluated by a canvassing board for eligibility.
