Entering into day 2 of Early Voting in some states like Florida, eligible voters have been lining up to exercise their right to vote even in the rain. However to ensure that voters are aware of what the guidelines are before going to vote during COVID-19 times, so no one is turned away, here are a few things to keep in mind before leaving the house.
The #1 Question Now....
DO YOU HAVE TO WEAR A MASK IF YOU ARE PHYSICALLY GOING TO THE POLLS???
Authorities say if you are not wearing a mask, you maybe asked to leave, if you are one who does not want to wear a mask voting by mail is also an option.
Things To Remember
What to bring
- You will be asked to show a valid photo ID with signature to vote in Florida. Acceptable forms include: Florida driver's license or ID card issued by the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles; US passport; debit or credit card; military ID; student ID; retirement center ID; neighborhood association ID; public assistance ID; veteran health ID issued by the US Department of Veterans Affairs; license to carry a concealed weapon or firearm; or an employee ID card issued by the federal government, the state of Florida, or any county or municipality. If your photo ID does not include your signature, you will be asked to provide another ID that has your signature.
- Voters without ID: If you are unable to provide ID, you will be able to vote a provisional ballot. Your ballot will count if the signature on your ballot matches the signature on your voter registration record.
