Voter Registration Deadline approaching for August 18 Primary Election

news release

To have your voice heard in the upcoming August 18 Primary Election, you must be registered to vote. The deadline to register to vote or change your political party affiliation is Monday, July 20. Florida runs closed primary elections; therefore, your party affiliation determines whether you will receive a Democrat, Republican or Non-Partisan ballot.

To register to vote or change your party affiliation online, go to RegisterToVoteFlorida.gov. For voters who choose to submit a paper registration application, the Supervisor of Elections located at 4375 43^rd Avenue, Vero Beach is open Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

All new voter registration and party changes received after the July 20 deadline will be processed for future elections. To review your voter registration status, visit VoteIndianRiver.gov and click “I Want To…” and next select “Check My Voter Registration Status.” Voters may also verify their address of record, party affiliation, polling location, and voting districts on the website. Voters can even view a photo of their Election Day polling site and driving directions furnished by Google Maps.

Registered voters who need to update their name and/or address are encouraged to make these updates prior to Election Day to avoid any delays at the polls. Changes to your residential or mailing address within the State of Florida can be made any of the following ways:
