St. Lucie County Supervisor of Elections

The St. Lucie County Supervisor of Elections updates voter registration information, keeps the registration documents, takes vote-by-mail requests and sends each new voter a card listing the precinct number and location (Florida Statutes 98.015; Florida Statutes 101.62; Register to Vote).

Florida law sets up the office the same way in every county. Under Florida Statutes 98.015 a supervisor of elections is elected in each county for a 4-year term, at the general election in each year the number of which is a multiple of four, and the board of county commissioners pays the supervisor's compensation (F.S. 98.015). The statute makes the St. Lucie County supervisor the official custodian of documents the office receives on the registration of electors and changes in their registration status, and requires it to enter new voter registrations into the statewide voter registration system.

The same statute sets a floor for opening hours: the office must be open Monday through Friday, except legal holidays, for at least 8 hours a day, starting no later than 9 a.m. (F.S. 98.015). It also requires each supervisor to make voter registration training available to any individual, group, center for independent living or public library in the county. The office's own site carries sections for candidates and committees, campaign finance reports, poll workers and public records requests (Supervisor of Elections home page).

The St. Lucie County Supervisor of Elections lists four public offices, one in Fort Pierce and three in Port St. Lucie, all reached at (772) 462-1500 (Supervisor of Elections offices).

The Okeechobee Road office in Fort Pierce is also the address of the St. Lucie County office's custodian of public records, and the site lists a Spanish language line at (772) 448-5169 next to the English line (Supervisor of Elections home page). The Tradition counter is located inside the Tax Collector's office (Supervisor of Elections offices).

A St. Lucie County resident registers online, by mail or in person at a Supervisor of Elections office, and must be registered at least 29 days before an election to vote in it (Register to Vote, St. Lucie County Supervisor of Elections).

The St. Lucie County Register to Vote page lists the requirements: be a U.S. citizen, a Florida resident and 18 years old, with pre-registration open at 16; not be adjudicated mentally incapacitated with respect to voting; not have a felony conviction without civil rights restored; and not claim the right to vote in another county or state (Register to Vote). The same online form updates a signature, a name or an address, records a party choice or change, and replaces a lost or stolen voter information card. That card arrives about 10 days after the application and lists the voter's precinct number and polling location.

The 29-day rule comes from Florida Statutes 97.055, which requires registration books to be closed on the 29th day before each election and to remain closed until after it. In counting the 29 days, election day is excluded and all other days are included; if that 29th day is a Sunday or a legal holiday, closing moves to the next day that is neither (Florida Statutes 97.055). While the books are closed, St. Lucie County voters can still update a name, address or signature for that election; a new application is accepted but counts only for later elections, and a party affiliation change counts unless the election is for the purpose of nominating a political party nominee.

A St. Lucie County voter, or an immediate family member or legal guardian the voter directly instructs, requests a vote-by-mail ballot in person, in writing, by phone or on the Supervisor of Elections website (Florida Statutes 101.62).

Each rule in the table comes from the statute (F.S. 101.62). The law also requires the St. Lucie County supervisor to cancel a request when any first-class or nonforwardable mail sent to the voter is returned as undeliverable; a voter who requests a vote-by-mail ballot after that must provide or confirm a current residential address. A voter may name a designee in writing to pick up a ballot; the designee provides the voter's written authorization and a picture identification, completes an affidavit, and may not pick up more than two vote-by-mail ballots per election other than his or her own, except for members of the designee's immediate family.

The voter information card lists the precinct and polling place, and the St. Lucie County Supervisor of Elections asks voters to confirm it with the online precinct lookup before entering the polling place (Register to Vote; precinct lookup page).

The St. Lucie County precinct lookup page warns that polling locations and precinct assignments are subject to change, and that a change to a precinct assignment may affect where a voter must vote on Election Day (precinct lookup page). The office posts temporary polling place changes and new early voting sites as news items, and keeps an Early Voting and Election Dates page on its own site (Supervisor of Elections home page).

St. Lucie County voters show photo identification from the list on the office's ID page, which starts with a Florida driver license, a Florida identification card, a United States passport and military identification (Acceptable Forms of Identification).

The full list on the St. Lucie County site also includes a debit or credit card, a student ID, a retirement center ID, a neighborhood association ID, a public assistance ID, a Florida concealed weapon or firearm license, an employee ID issued by a federal, state, county or city government agency, and a veteran health identification card issued by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (Acceptable Forms of Identification). A photo ID without a signature must be paired with a second document that carries one. A voter who arrives without ID can still vote a provisional ballot, which the canvassing board reviews for eligibility.

Help is available inside the polling place. The St. Lucie County office says voters may bring someone to help read or mark the ballot or ask poll workers, and that Spanish language assistance and ADA-compliant voting equipment are provided at every early voting location and in precincts on Election Day (Acceptable Forms of Identification).
