Voting is Fashionable!





Hey Fashionistas! 


Next week, November 6th, is election day. In some states, including here in Florida, there is early voting and I can't stress enough how important it is that everyone goes out and exercises their right to vote. This past weekend, my friends and I voted at the local library and I can't tell you how wonderful it was for us to be voting. It doesn't matter what your political beliefs are or who you vote for as long as you get out there and do it. The polls are open all this week for early voting in Florida from October 27th to November 3rd from 7a.m. to 7p.m. If you are unable to vote early, voting is open on election day, Tuesday, November 6, 2012 from 7a.m.-7p.m.

To vote in Florida you must be: 


  • Be a Citizen of the United States of America (a lawful permanent resident is not a U.S. citizen)
  • Be a Florida resident
  • Be 18 years old (you may pre-register to vote if you are 16 years old, but you cannot vote until you are 18 years old)
  • Not now be adjudicated mentally incapacitated with respect to voting in Florida or any other state without having the right to vote restored
  • Not have been convicted of a felony without your civil rights having been restored

What to bring to the polls:

In order to vote at the polls during early voting or on Election Day, you must show a photo ID with a signature.  Acceptable forms of photo identification include:

Also, make sure you review the amendments for your state. Here are the amendments for Florida.

I voted early! 

Make sure you all go out and vote! xoxo dolls
