Ahead of the November 3 elections, Florida officials have issued specific guidance regarding identification requirements and mail-in ballot procedures. The Florida Division of Elections requires a valid, current photo ID with a signature, such as a driver’s license, U.S. passport, or military ID. 

Logistical concerns have emerged regarding ballot delivery. In Broward County, Election Supervisor Joe Scott recommended in-person voting or hand-delivery of ballots following reports of delays involving the United States Postal Service. While the USPS reported a 97.98% on-time delivery rate for ballots as of October 9, some voters have reported technical difficulties and errors when attempting to request mail-in ballots through official websites. 

Officials emphasize that all mail-in ballots must reach election offices by 7:00 p.m. local time on November 3 to be counted.
