Early voting begins soon in Northeast Florida, Southeast Georgia

In mid-October, voters across northeast Florida and southeast Georgia will get their first opportunities to cast an early, in-person ballot for the 2024 general election.

In Florida, counties must offer at least eight days of early voting, but some choose to offer more. Georgia counties offer roughly three weeks of early voting, including at least two Saturdays, and possibly Sunday voting.

Voters in Florida and Georgia can also vote by mail, though there are deadlines to request a mail-in ballot. In Florida, that ballot must be requested by October 24, while Georgia voters have until October 25.

Florida early voting

Eligible voters can vote at any early voting location within their county. You must bring one or two forms of valid and current identification that include your signature and photo.

Acceptable forms of ID include:

• Florida Driver License
• Florida ID Card (issued by DHSMV)
• U.S. 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)
• Concealed Weapon License (issued pursuant to F.S. 790.06)
• Employee ID card issued by any branch, department, agency, or entity of the Federal Government, the state, a county, or a municipality.

If you show up without an ID, you can cast a “provisional” ballot, which is then evaluated by a canvassing board that decides if the ballot is eligible.
