How to register to vote and check your status in Florida

The 2020 general election is Nov. 3, and Floridians must be registered to vote by Oct. 5 in order to participate.

The polls are open on Election Day from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m. local time in Florida. If you're still waiting in line at 7 p.m., you're legally allowed to cast your ballot.

Florida makes it easy to register to vote online, but that's not the only way to register.
