The voter registration deadline for the 2024 Presidential Preference Primary Election is February 20

Press release from Alachua County Supervisor of Elections

ALACHUA COUNTY, Fla. — The voter registration and party affiliation change deadline for the 2024 Presidential Preference Primary Election is February 20, 2024. This deadline is now one month away.

Florida is a closed primary election state, meaning that only voters registered with a political party can vote for that party’s candidates in partisan races.

Only registered Republican voters will have a contest to vote on in the March 19 Presidential Preference Primary.

All registered voters, regardless of party, will be eligible to vote for President and Vice President in the November General Election. 

Election Day for the Presidential Primary Election is on March 19, 2024. Any individual who would like to participate in the Presidential Preference Primary Election must be registered to vote by February 20, 2024.

Additionally, any voter who wishes to change their party affiliation must do so by the February 20 deadline for the change to take effect for this election.

If you are not yet registered to vote or need to update your voter registration record, there are numerous ways to do so:

  • Online: Florida residents can register to vote online. The online voter registration portal — found at RegisterToVoteFlorida.gov — is a safe and secure option for voter registration. You will need a valid Florida State ID (Florida Driver’s License number/Florida ID Card number) AND the last four digits of your social security number.
  • In person: The Alachua County Supervisor of Elections office, which is located at 515 N. Main St. on the third floor, is open from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. Voter registration forms can also be completed and turned in at any Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles office or any Alachua County Public Library.
  • By mail: Forms are available online at VoteAlachua.gov. Completed forms must be received by the Alachua County Supervisor of Elections Office before 5 p.m. on the February 20 deadline.

Already registered voters are encouraged to verify and update their voter registration status. This can be done at https://www.votealachua.gov/My-Registration-Status, by calling 352-374-5252, or by visiting the Alachua County Supervisor of Elections office in person. Voters are encouraged to make any changes to their voter registration in advance of election day as changes could impact a voter’s assigned polling place.

  • Hope all of you liberal lemmings find someone else to vote for. Your current choices have raised taxes, misused GRU funds, raised utility rates, allowed crimes to escalate, continue to promote the homeless population, endorse open borders, turn criminals loose to continue their reign of crime and voted to give themselves raises while we’ve been suffering from inflation.

    I think years ago Shania Twain had a song that was appropriate…”Don’t be stupid.” Now would be a good time to take that advice.

  • “This deadline is now one month away”. Only if the fascist Republicans don’t find a way to suppress it. A Florida republican lawmaker already plans to introduce a bill to eliminate voting by mail under the BS guise of “election integrity”.

    • “Oh no! The evil fascists who want to… …require people to show ID and vote in person! This is worse than the Holocaust!”

    • You mean “ensure” the integrity of the election.
      You progressives, just can’t handle when an attempt is made to enforce the laws already on the books…see immigration laws.

  • Democrats, time to hit the cemeteries and sign them dead folk up to vote!
