STUDENT REGISTRATION
If you are a student in college in Florida, you can find out the requirements for registering to vote by going to Student Voting Guide. The Brennan Center released the 2012 50-state Student Voting Guide, an online resource to help students and advocates understand the diverse patchwork of state laws governing student voters. This interactive guide explains the basic residency, registration, identification, and absentee voting requirements in all 50 states and Washington, D.C.  Many students who leave home to attend college are often misinformed about where they are eligible to vote. This guide seeks to remedy this confusion and make sure every student can cast a ballot that counts.

The League of Women Voters of Florida has FAQs addressing some of the unique situations faced by college students wanting to vote.
