How to Register to Vote in Lutz

If you haven’t yet registered to vote, get it off your to-do list now.

National Voter Registration Day has passed (it was Sept. 25), but that doesn't mean time has run out.

Six million people didn’t vote in the 2008 elections because they either did not know how to register or because they missed the voter registration deadline.

The voter registration deadline in Florida is Oct. 9.

Here’s information on how you can register in time for the Nov. 6 elections:

Here's what the Hillsborough County Supervisor of Elections website says about registering to vote in our area:
