JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The Duval County Supervisor of Elections is urging voters to update their registration after the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles implemented a new system for driver license and identification card numbers in 2024.
The change requires that driver licenses and ID’s include at least four randomly generated numbers, impacting voter verification for various record updates, initiative petitions and vote-by-mail ballot requests.
This new legislation was designed to enhance security and prevent identity theft. As a result of this update, voters who have obtained a new driver license must ensure that the Supervisor of Elections office has their most current driver license number on file.
