Voter Registration Records

Access to voter registration records is governed by Section 97.0585 of the Florida Statutes.

The Elections Office prepares a statistical breakdown of voter registration for the county as a whole and for individual precincts. The breakdown shows the aggregate totals of registered voters by party, race, and sex. Copies of these reports are available at a charge (to cover the cost of duplication).

Other official records

Elected officials and certain appointed officials are required to periodically file financial disclosure reports. In general, city and county officials must file their reports at the county Supervisor of Elections Office, and all others must file their reports with the State Division of Elections Office in Tallahassee.

Similarly, campaign finance reports for local candidates and political organizations are usually filed at the County Elections Office, and all others at the state Elections Office.

These other records maintained by the Elections Office are available for inspection and copying at any time during normal business hours. There will be a charge of 15¢ per copy.

The Division of Elections of the Florida Department of State publishes a compilation of Florida's election laws. Races for the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives are also governed by federal laws and the Federal Elections Commission. Contact the state Elections Office for further information.
