Hello: Thank you for reaching out to us. No, you don't have to vote in the primary election to vote in the general election. There are three elections this year (2020): March 17 Presidential Preference Primary, August 18 Primary, and November 3 General Election. You can participate in any or all of them. We encourage voters to vote in every election and make their voice heard. If you have any questions, please call our office at 941.861.8619. Thank you again for contacting us.

Dear Ms. Howe: Please call 941-861-8619 to speak with our Voter Services department who can assist you with your Florida Voter Registration Number. Thank you very much.

You are welcome. That doesn't help in this case. How can she sign up AGAIN to vote by mail? She signed up when we moved here three years ago, apparently was "lost" this year. It will help in the future. She is Wendreth Paige Baker, address 4533 Hartsook Av, North Port, FL 34287.
