Polls are open 7:00 am to 7:00 pm local time.
Federal, state, county, and school board offices, many city and town elections, and any statewide or local measures. Your exact ballot depends on where you live.
Every candidate in a race is shown the same way, alphabetical by last name. Nothing here rates or recommends anyone. Your sample ballot lists every race you can vote in.
One candidate qualified, and the Supervisor of Elections lists the race as unopposed. The four commission seats are not up this year. Whether an unopposed race still appears on the ballot is up to state law and the town — your sample ballot will show it.

People who hold or seek elected office in Florida have to put these on the public record. We post each one as filed, for every candidate alike, as we gather them (see the docket).
Who: Elected city and town officials, and candidates for those offices. Where: Filed online with the Florida Commission on Ethics; public and searchable at disclosure.floridaethics.gov. When: Each year by July 1; candidates file when they qualify. A 2023 law moved elected town officials to the fuller Form 6, but a federal court has blocked enforcing that while a lawsuit goes on.

29 days before the election. You can still update an existing registration after this date.
Ask your county Supervisor of Elections in person, by mail, email, fax, or phone. A request covers one election cycle, so make sure yours is on file for 2026 even if you voted by mail before.

Bring a current photo ID that also shows your signature — a Florida driver's license or ID card, U.S. passport, military ID, or a debit or credit card with your photo, among others. If your photo ID has no signature, bring a second ID that does. Without ID you can still vote a provisional ballot.
