All signature updates for use in verifying vote-by-mail voter certificates, Provisional Ballot voter certificates, or petitions must be received by our office before we receive the voter's ballot. In the case of a Provisional Ballot, before the ballot is cast or, in the case of a petition, before the petition is submitted for signature verification.

To update your signature, you must complete a Florida Voter Registration Application. You may obtain an application on this website or at any of our office locations, or you may call the office and request an application be mailed to you.
