Make Your Voice Heard - Vote

 

Tuesday, November 5 is election day in the United States. The U.S., which is the longest-standing democracy in the world according to the World Economic Forum, continues to uphold the values inscribed in its Constitution. The U.S. Constitution gives power to the people and states that the government must serve its citizens. Citizens have a right to voice their opinion about issues and select their leaders.

Just like participating in the Census, casting your ballot this November is crucial to making your voice and opinion count. Being an active citizen, holding leaders accountable, and assuring that your needs are met by the people elected to serve you, as an individual, and the nation as a whole, is your duty.

Who Can Vote:

According to the Broward County Supervisor of Elections, to be eligible to vote, you must:

  • Be a citizen of the United States of America (only U.S. citizens have the right to register or vote in Florida);
  • Be a legal resident of Florida;
  • Be a legal resident of the county in which you seek to be registered;
  • Be at least 16 years old to preregister or at least 18 years old to register and vote;
  • Not be a person who has been adjudicated mentally incapacitated with respect to voting in Florida or any other state without having the right to vote restored; and
  • Not be a person convicted of a felony without having your right to vote restored.
