In order to register to vote in Saint Petersburg, Florida, you must fill in an online Voter Registration Application. Instead, you could print the application and fill it in with a black ballpoint pen. Print the application and make sure it is complete.

Then, sign your application, which requires an original signature for swearing to an oath. Place the application in an envelope with a first class stamp and mail the application to your county Supervisor of Elections. If your application is complete and you qualify as a voter, the Supervisor of Elections will mail you a voter information card which is your official notification that you are registered to vote.

Voting is very important to the United States and our community. It’s really something how the citizens can participate in such a decision making that makes history. Voting is a privilege and EVERYONE 18 years or older should vote! If I were 18 or older, I would most definitely want to vote and get involved in a history decision making and even the President of the Unites States.
