Voter ID rules are different based on whether you vote by absentee ballot or in person.
Any registered Floridian can choose to vote by mail. You don’t have to give a reason for not voting in person.
You have to request a mail ballot from your local Supervisor of Elections. You can have an immediate family member or legal guardian request a ballot on your behalf.
Your request can be made in person, over the phone, or sent by mail, email, or fax.
Voters with disabilities have the option of requesting an accessible absentee ballot. This option allows you to mark your ballot using an electronic device, but it cannot be returned online. Each county has its own system for electronic ballots.

If your photo ID doesn’t have your signature, make sure you also bring another ID with your signature on it.
If you don’t have ID, you can still vote a provisional ballot. Your ballot will count if you’re an eligible voter, voting in the the right place, and the signature on your provisional ballot matches the one from your voter registration file.
