Additional Rights as a Florida Voter:

1. You have the right to vote in all the races on your ballot or in the races that you choose.  You are NOT required to cast a vote in every race or on every ballot question.
2. You have the right to vote even if you failed to bring photo or signature identification to the polling station.  If you did not bring a photo ID, state law requires the poll workers to allow you to vote if your name is on the register and you sign a statement verifying your name and address.  First time voters without photo ID may vote a provisional ballot.  No one can be refused the right to vote solely because he or she failed to bring photo or signature ID to the polling place.
3. You have the right to vote even if you did not bring your voter registration card to the polling place.
4. You have the right to find out whether your provisional ballot has been counted.
