Where and how to register to vote in St. Lucie County

You can register to vote in St. Lucie County through three main routes: online at RegisterToVoteFlorida.gov, in person at the Supervisor of Elections office, or by mail using a voter registration form. The online method is fastest — you fill out your information, submit it, and receive confirmation within minutes if you meet Florida's basic requirements (U.S. citizen, Florida resident, at least 18 years old, not a felon with rights suspended, and not already registered in another county).

The Supervisor of Elections office for St. Lucie County is located at 2300 Virginia Avenue, Fort Pierce, FL 34982. You can walk in during business hours with a valid ID and proof of residency (utility bill, lease, or mortgage statement dated within the past 60 days). If you prefer mail, read the Florida Voter Registration process from the Supervisor's website, fill it out, and send it to the same address. Mail registration typically takes 7 to 10 business days to process.

You can also register at certain public offices — the Department of Motor Vehicles, public libraries, and social service agencies in the county — though these locations may have limited hours. Check the Supervisor of Elections website for a current list of satellite registration sites.

What documents you need for in-person registration

Bring a valid photo ID — a driver's license, passport, military ID, or state ID card all work. If your ID does not show your current address, bring a second document proving where you live. The Supervisor of Elections accepts utility bills, lease agreements, mortgage statements, bank statements, government checks, or tax returns, as long as they are dated within the past 60 days.

If you do not have a photo ID, you can still register in person by providing two documents that together prove your identity and residency. For example, a utility bill plus a bank statement, or a lease plus a government check. The key is that at least one document must show your name and address.

You do not need to bring your Social Security number in person — the form asks for it, but you can provide it on the registration card itself. If you do not know your number, you can leave it blank and the Supervisor's office will attempt to verify your registration using your driver's license number instead.

important date and when your registration takes effect

Florida law requires you to be registered at least 29 days before an election to vote in that election. If you register online or in person, your status is confirmed when ready, but the 29-day rule still applies — registering on the day before an election will not let you vote in that election, though you will be registered for the next one.

Mail registrations take longer to process. If you mail your form, send it at least 35 days before the election to be safe, since processing can take up to 10 business days and the mail itself adds time. The Supervisor of Elections office posts election dates and registration important date on its website.

Once registered, you remain on the rolls unless you move out of the county, request removal, are convicted of a felony with voting rights suspended, or fail to vote for eight consecutive years (which triggers a notice asking you to confirm your registration). You do not need to re-register when you move within St. Lucie County — update your address with the Supervisor's office instead.

Checking your registration status and updating your information

Visit RegisterToVoteFlorida.gov and enter your name, date of birth, and driver's license or ID number to see whether you are registered, which precinct you vote in, and where your polling place is located. This same site lets you update your address, name, or party affiliation if you are already registered.

If you registered in person or by mail and want to confirm the Supervisor received your form, call the St. Lucie County Supervisor of Elections office at (772) 462-1000. Staff can tell you whether your registration was processed and, if there is a problem, what documents or information you need to provide to complete it.

If you moved within St. Lucie County, update your address online at RegisterToVoteFlorida.gov or call the Supervisor's office. If you moved to a different county in Florida, you must register in that county — you cannot straightforward update your address. If you moved out of Florida, contact the Supervisor's office to request removal from the rolls.

Registering if you have a criminal record or citizenship question

Florida law suspends voting rights for anyone convicted of a felony until the sentence is complete (including probation and parole). If your rights have been restored — either because your sentence ended or because you received a pardon or restoration order — you can register normally. If you are unsure whether your rights are restored, call the Supervisor of Elections office before registering; staff can check your status using your name and date of birth.

If you are not yet a U.S. citizen but are a permanent resident, you cannot register to vote in Florida. You must be a citizen to register. The online system and in-person staff will ask you to confirm your citizenship status; providing false information is a felony.

If you have questions about whether a specific conviction affects your voting rights, the Supervisor of Elections office can provide guidance. You can also contact the Florida Rights Restoration Coalition or a local legal aid organization for detailed information about your individual situation.
