The Broward County Supervisor of Elections Office will partner with Broward County Public Schools and several private and charter institutions for its annual High School Voter Registration Drive, scheduled for April 1–30, 2026.
The initiative aims to encourage civic engagement among young people and help eligible students pre-register or register to vote, with organizers targeting at least 10,000 student registrations this year.
“Engaging students early helps build lifelong habits of civic participation,” Broward County Supervisor of Elections Joe Scott said. “Our High School Voter Registration Drive gives students the opportunity to learn about the voting process and take their first step toward becoming active participants in our democracy.”
Throughout April, outreach teams from the elections office will visit participating schools to assist students with the registration process and provide information about the importance of voting. Schools will receive on-site support from elections staff to help coordinate registration efforts.
At the end of the drive, schools that register the highest number of students will be recognized for their participation and commitment to civic engagement.
Students who wish to register online can do so at RegisterToVoteFlorida.gov. To complete the application, applicants must provide a Florida driver’s license or Florida identification card number, along with the last four digits of their Social Security number.
Students registering online through their schools are asked to forward their confirmation email to hsvrd@BrowardVotes.gov and include the name of their high school. Completed registration forms may also be submitted directly to elections staff during scheduled school visits.
A full schedule of participating schools and visit dates is available at BrowardVotes.gov/hsvrd.
The High School Voter Registration Drive has been a longstanding initiative in Broward County, helping thousands of students begin their journey as voters. Under Florida law, students aged 16 and 17 may pre-register to vote, while those 18 and older can register if they meet eligibility requirements, including U.S. citizenship and having no disqualifying felony convictions or having had their rights restored.
