- Florida ID card issued by the Dept. of Highway safety & Motor Vehicles
- United States Passport
- Debit or Credit Card
- Military Identification

If the picture identification does not contain a signature, an additional identification with a signature will be required.

This card is intended only to inform you that you are a registered voter, what district races you are able to vote on, what precinct you are registered in and the location of your polling place.
Those who are in line to vote at 7 p.m. EST will be permitted to vote.
