Will the ‘No Match, No Vote’ law prevent me from voting if the address on my driver’s license is different from the one on my voter registration form?

NO. The so-called ‘No Match, No Vote’ law only applies to newly registered voters when they were registering to vote – NOT when anyone is voting. When voting, the address on your driver’s license and your registration do not have to match. The election officials will only check your photo and your signature on your ID when you vote.

Will I be allowed to vote if I wear my Obama button or T-shirt when I go vote?

YES. A voter can wear a campaign button or T-shirt while voting. Only campaign workers and officials can’t wear them within 100 feet of the voting place.

Where do I vote?

During Early Voting, you can vote at any Early Vote location in the county where you are registered to vote. Early Voting opens October 20 and continues through Saturday, November 1 in most county. A select few counties will remain open on Sunday, November 2. On Election Day, November 4, you must vote at the voting location in the precinct you are registered to vote. Please call 1-877-2FL-OBAMA to find the Early Vote location nearest you and to find your precinct information for Election Day.

What do I need to bring with me when I vote?

Bring your Florida driver’s license or other current identification card showing your picture and your signature. (If your picture ID does not have your signature, you must present a second ID that has your signature).

Below are acceptable forms of ID:

* Florida Driver’s License * Florida ID card issued by the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles * U.S. passport * Debit or credit card [if it has your picture on it] * Military ID * Student ID * Retirement center ID * Neighborhood association ID * Public assistance ID

What happens if I do not have the proper ID?

Don't leave without voting. If you do not have an acceptable, valid picture ID, or if you are not allowed to vote for another reason, you have a right to vote on a “provisional ballot.” Your provisional ballot will be counted if your signature matches your voter registration signature and if you are otherwise eligible to vote. You will fill out and sign a special form provided by the poll officials.

If there are any irregularities call the toll-free nationwide Election Protection Hotline, 1-866-OUR-VOTE or in Spanish, 1-888-VE-Y-VOTA. (Bring your cell phone.)
