New Voter Identification Requirements from State Rep. Kelly Skidmore

The recently re-enacted “No Match, No Vote” law, which was originally signed by the governor in 2006, requires voters to present a state issued identification card, such as a Florida Driver’s License, or the last four-digits of their social security number at the polling location where they intend to cast their ballot. The voter’s information is verified through the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles or the Social Security Administration. This requirement is intended to ensure the identity of the person who is wishing to vote. Community and most other identification cards are not accepted.

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