TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) - Today is the last day to register to vote for the Florida Primary Elections on August 28.
Registration will end at 11:59 p.m. Monday night.
The Supervisor of Elections says they've seen a large turnout, and it could also mean a large turnout for the primary elections.
"The activity shows well for a higher turnout, we've been certainly trying to get the message out that this is not just a partisan type of a primary," said Mark Earley, the Leon County Supervisor of Elections. "There's a lot of non-partisan that can be decided in August."
You can still register to vote for the primary elections at LeRoy Collins Library, New Leaf Food Market and online here.
The 2018 general election will be on November 6. The deadline to register to vote in that election is October 9.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - Monday is the last day to register to vote before Florida's Aug. 28 primary election.
Floridians who want to switch their party affiliation for the primary also must act by the deadline.
There are contested primary races for governor on both the Republican and Democratic sides. Voters will also pick nominees for attorney general and agriculture commissioner. There are also several contentious races for Congress.
Florida residents can check their current registration status, register to vote or update their existing registration through the state's online voter registration website RegisterToVoteFlorida.gov. Users will need their Florida driver license or Florida identification card and the last four digits of their social security number.
Florida residents can also print a paper application that can be mailed or hand-delivered to their local election supervisor.
