WHAT TO BRING:

Florida voters must provide current and valid photo identification at the polling place in order to vote. Acceptable forms of identification include the following:

• Florida identification card
  
• Florida driver's license
  
• United States passport
  
• Debit or credit card
  
• Military identification
  
• Student identification
  
• Retirement center identification
  
• Neighborhood association identification
  
• Public assistance identification
  

If the photo identification does not contain the voter's signature, an additional identification with the voter's signature is required.

If you do not present one of the above forms of identification at the polling place, you can vote by casting a provisional ballet. A provisional ballot is a paper ballot counted the day after the election once the county canvassing board has verified that the person was qualified to vote in that precinct and has confirmed the voter's identity.

WHAT TO EXPECT

In addition to the presidential election, there are a number of other races happening in Florida, including Congressional races for the U.S. House of Representatives.
