Dear Friends:
This past week I’ve received hundreds of letters from concerned citizens both here and across the country regarding the need for a secure and accurate election on November 4th. According to recent surveys, up to 50% of Florida’s voters participate in early voting. Because of the anticipated record-high voter turnout, ensuring the accuracy of our elections process is of the utmost importance. As such, I, along with other community leaders, have been coordinating efforts with our Supervisors of Elections to ensure that everything is being done to count every vote correctly.

What to Expect at the Polls for Early Voting & Election Day
Polls will be open on Election Day from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m. To determine your polling place, check your voter information card or contact your Supervisor of Elections.
You will be asked to show a photo and signature identification when you go to the polls to vote. Acceptable forms of photo identification include:
• Florida Driver’s License
• Florida Identification Card issued by the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles.
• United States Passport
• Debit or Credit Card
• Military Identification
• Student Identification
• Retirement Center Identification
• Neighborhood Association Identification
• Public Assistance Identification

According to the Florida Department of State, if your photo identification does not contain your signature, you will be required to show an additional ID that provides your signature. However, if you are not able to provide adequate identification, you will still be allowed to cast a provisional ballot which will be counted after your eligibility to vote is confirmed. To facilitate the confirmation of your voting rights in this situation, you will be asked to bring proof of your eligibility to vote to your Supervisor of Elections office by no later than 5 p.m. on Thursday, November 6th. Again, this is only if you are required to vote on a provisional ballot.

For additional information, polling locations, early voting hours and wait times, please contact your Supervisor of Elections’ Office at (954) 357-7050 in Broward County, and (561) 682-3124 Palm Beach County.
