VOTING
Requirements to Vote:

1. Must be a Citizen of the United States of America.

2. Must be a Florida resident.

3. Must be 18 years old.

4. Not currently be adjudicated mentally incapacitated with respect to voting in Florida or any other state without having the right to vote restored.

5. Must be free of felony charges.

6. Provide your current and valid Florida driver’s license number or Florida identification card number or last four digits of your social security card.

In the state of Florida there are, of course, many requirements to register to vote. The few that most people know are that you have to be a citizen of the United States, be a resident in the state of Florida, and that you must be eighteen years of age. Being a lawful permanent resident is not a U.S. citizen though. The age requirement, however, is not as strict about pre-registering. Once you turn sixteen, you may pre-register to vote in the state of Florida, but you cannot vote until you are eighteen. The few restrictions that people don’t know is that you cannot vote if you have been convicted of a felony and your civil rights have not fully been restored and you must not be adjudicated mentally incapacitated with respect to voting in Florida or any other state without having the right to vote restored. 

Voter Turn-Outs:

Voter turn out is the amount of people that end up voting in the election on the account of eligibility. To figure this number you must take into account the number of eligible voters who are overseas, the convicted felons who are ineligible to vote, and the population that is over eighteen and U.S. citizens. Voter turn out has fluctuated throughout the years. The rates were lower than ever around the seventies and eighties. This was due to bad calculation of the voter turn out. So far, 89.1 million votes were cast for the highest office in 2010. The estimated 2010 voter turnout expressed as vote for highest office divided by the voting-eligible population is 40.9%.
