- By Anthony Man South Florida Sun Sentinel

Anyone who wants to vote in the 2022 elections in Florida, and isn’t already registered, faces a Tuesday, Oct. 11, deadline.

People can register in person by mail and online.

People registerin­g or updating their registrati­ons online will need their Florida driver license or Florida identifica­tion card and the last four digits of their Social Security number, the Secretary of State’s Office said.

To verify a user’s identity, the informatio­n typed into the online voter registrati­on website must exactly match the informatio­n that appears on their most recent Florida driver license or state ID card.

Registrati­on forms can be mailed or brought in to a county supervisor of elections office.

In-person registrati­on is available at supervisor of elections offices, government offices such as tax collectors that issue driver licenses or state ID cards and government offices that include public assistance, public libraries or Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles driver license offices.

Someone renewing a driver license or state ID card online can also register during that process.

The Oct. 11 deadlines are 11:59 p.m. for online; received by the close of business at a supervisor of elections office or postmarked by that date if returned by mail, the Secretary of State’s Office said. The deadline to request a mail ballot is Oct. 29.

Early voting in Broward and Palm Beach counties runs from Oct. 24 through Nov. 6.

Election Day is Nov. 8. People can check to see if they’re registered to vote, request mail ballots and check their status, and find locations of polling places online and by phone.

Broward County: www.browardvot­es.gov, 954-3578683.

Palm Beach County: www.votepalmbe­ach.gov, 561-656-6200.
