What do I need to vote in Florida?
Before heading to the polls, make sure you’re ready to vote.
Accepted forms of voter ID
For the November 3, 2026, general election, Florida voters must present a current, valid photo ID with a signature. If the photo ID does not include a signature, an additional ID with the voter’s signature is required.
•Florida driver’s license
•Florida identification card issued by the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles
•U.S. passport
•Debit or credit card
•Military identification
•Student identification
•Retirement center identification
•Neighborhood association identification
•Public assistance identification
•Veteran health identification card issued by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs
•Concealed weapon or firearm license issued under Florida Statute 790.06
•Federal, state, county or municipal government employee identification
Important: If your photo ID does not include a signature, you must present another form of identification that includes your signature. If you do not have the required identification, you may vote using a provisional ballot. A voter information card is not an accepted form of identification for voting.
Looking ahead to 2027: Florida approved changes to its voter identification requirements under HB 991 (Chapter 2026-26). The new requirements take effect January 1, 2027, after the November 2026 general election.

This year, Floridians will find three amendments to the Florida Constitution on the ballot. Below, you can review what they are.
Three constitutional amendments on Florida’s ballot
Amendment 1
Budget stabilization fund
Would increase the state’s Budget Stabilization Fund limit from 10% to 25% of general revenue collections. It would also require annual transfers of up to $750 million, unless certain conditions are met, and allow withdrawals for critical state needs.
Amendment 2
Agricultural property tax exemption
Would exempt certain tangible personal property located on agricultural land and used for agricultural production or agritourism activities from property taxes. The property must belong to the agricultural landowner or leaseholder. The exemption would first apply to tax years beginning Jan. 1, 2027.
Amendment 3
Property taxes
Would increase the homestead exemption for non-school property taxes to $150,000 in 2027 and $250,000 in 2028, with inflation adjustments thereafter. It would also reduce the annual assessment increase cap for non-homestead properties from 10% to 5%. Certain new Florida residents would have to wait until their fifth year of qualifying for the homestead exemption to receive the increase, subject to federal constitutional limits. The measure would also establish new rules for the use of property tax revenue.
Important: Each amendment requires at least 60% of the votes cast on the measure to pass.
