Florida Provisional Voting

Provisional ballots are counted by noon, 4 days after a General Election and 3 days after a Primary Election.

Voters receive a provisional ballot if:

• their registration cannot be verified at the polls
• an absentee ballot has been issued but the voter fails to bring it to the polls
• voter fails to provide proper ID
• the polling hours are extended (these provisional ballots are segregated from all other provisional ballots).

Voters must cast their provisional ballot in the correct polling place in order for it to be counted.

If you are eligible to vote, and voted in the proper precinct, your provisional ballot will count as long as your signature on the provisional ballot matches the signature in your registration record.
