Volusia County
Voter Registration DrivesSince the implementation of the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 a Deputy Registrar is no longer needed to officially swear in a registered voter. The new voter registration application can be completed and mailed to the Volusia Elections Department. The Outreach Division of the Elections Department is eager to assist those who wish to conduct a Voter Registration Drive. Upon request, this office will provide an array of materials to support your volunteer efforts.

Although the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (also known as the "Motor Voter Law") provides for a mail-in voter registration program throughout the United States, you will be supplied with forms for the State of Florida only.
A voter needs to complete the voter registration application form personally, and mail it to the Volusia County Department of Elections. The address for the office is listed on the back of the form along with the addresses for all the other county elections departments in the state.
Note: As a liability concern, you should not accept a completed form from a prospective registered voter for the purpose of mailing or returning it to the Department of Elections. If you or a voter registration drive volunteer should accept a form and the form is lost or misplaced resulting in the voter not being registered in time to participate in an election, the voter could be disenfranchised and hold your group responsible.
