    It's almost there. T-minus one week until election day.

    As early voting continues across the country, some residents who have not registered may be wondering whether it is too late to register.

    According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, 23 states and Washington DC allow same-day registration. Is Florida one of them?

    What day are the general elections held? Just one more week

    The 2024 general election will take place on Tuesday, November 5th.

    I am not registered to vote. Can I still do this?

    No, the deadline to register for the 2024 Florida general election passed earlier this month on Monday, October 7th.

    Can I still register to vote in future Florida elections during this time?

    Yes, you can still register to vote in next year's election in Florida. Local and state elections take place every year.

    How do I register to vote in Florida?

    You must enter your name, date of birth, Florida DL or Florida ID card number and issue date exactly as they appear on your most current and valid Florida DL or Florida ID card.
