Florida driver's license change could cause you voting issues. Here's what you need to do.

For the past year, people renewing their driver licenses or state ID cards have received a new number. And that could cause problems for voters in next year’s elections.

“When a voter receives a new Florida driver’s license number, it is imperative that our office is made aware of the change,” Broward Supervisor of Elections Joe Scott said via email.

A warning about the implications of the new driver license and ID numbers came Tuesday from All Voting is Local, a voting-rights group that focuses on combatting policies that make it more difficult for people to vote.

On July 31, 2024, according to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, the state began implementing a new law requiring driver license and state ID car numbers to include four randomly generated numbers.
