VOTER INFORMATION CARD NO LONGER
REQUIRED WHEN VOTING
Supervisor of Elections Ann McFall would like to notify all
voters that the Voter Identification Card is now called a Voter
Information Card, and is no longer a required form of
identification to be used on Election Day.
“Since the Voter Information Card is no longer an ID card, it
cannot satisfy any of the requirements for picture and signature
identification needed when voting.” states McFall. “However, a
voter can use two different
forms of identification to satisfy the picture and
signature ID requirement.” The most widely used IDs is either a
Florida Drivers License or a state-issued identification card.
The voter information card still holds valuable information such
as a voter’s 9-digit registration number and precinct and
district information. Voters will notice the card no longer
contains a space for a signature.
