Supervisor Ann McFall Asks Voter to Update Records

With the November 4, 2008 Presidential Election less than two months away, Supervisor Ann McFall urges voters to use this opportunity to update voter records with the Department of Elections prior to book closing October 6, 2008.

“Some voters who have recently moved often are unsure of where to vote on Election Day because it is required by law that a voter vote in the precinct associated with their current residential address.” stated Supervisor McFall.

 Frustration at the polls can be significantly reduced if voters would use this opportunity prior to the November 4, 2008 election to make necessary updates to voter registration records.  This gives the voter the opportunity to learn ahead of time if they are assigned to a different voting precinct if they have moved since the last time they voted.  Address changes from one Volusia County address to another can easily be done by phone, fax, e-mail, in person, mail or on the Department of Elections website.  Address changes from another county in Florida to Volusia County must be completed on a Florida Voter Registration Application.

 The Florida Voter Registration Application is not only used for new registrations and address changes, but is used to make name and party affiliation changes along with signature updates.  Applications can be found at all Volusia County public libraries, post offices, drivers license bureaus, city halls, chambers of commerce, many Volusia County offices or you can download one from the Department of Elections website.
