RUMOR:
You can’t request an absentee ballot after Wednesday, October 29.

Wednesday was the last day to ask for a ballot to be mailed to you. But you can still ask someone you trust, like the Obama campaign, to pick up a ballot for you from your Supervisor of Election. Fill out this form to give to them.
RUMOR:
You can’t vote if you haven’t received your official voter registration card. This is false.
FACT:
If you registered by October 6, you can vote. To be sure you are registered, call your county Supervisor of Election.
RUMOR:
It is not safe to early vote or to vote by mail (sometimes called "absentee" voting). This is false.
FACT:
Your early vote or vote by mail ballot is secure and will be counted. To find your polling location or request a ballot go to voteforchange.
RUMOR:
You can’t vote unless your current address is on your ID when you go to vote. This is false.

The address on your driver's license and registration address do not have to match. Officials only need your ID to verify the photo and signature. MORE

If you're a registered Republican, you can't vote for Obama/Biden. This is false.

Any registered voter can vote for anyone for any office in a general election. Vote Obama-Biden!
RUMOR:
You can’t wear your Obama button or T-shirt while voting. This is false.

Voters can wear a campaign button or T-shirt. Only campaign workers/officials can’t, within 100 feet of the poll. MORE
RUMOR:
After you vote for Obama, you need to vote a “straight Democratic ticket” or your vote for president won’t count. This is false.

There is no “straight ticket” option at all in Florida.
