Voter Registration Voter registration may be done at the Bay County Supervisor of Elections office, local libraries, driver’s license offices, by mail and online. You may register to vote if you are a U.S. Citizen and a legal resident of Bay County, 18 years of age or older, in possession of your civil rights and not currently adjudicated mentally incompetent. You are eligible to vote if the election falls on or after your 18th birthday. You can pre-register on or after your 17th birthday or receipt of a valid Florida driver's license, whichever occurs earlier, and a voter information card will be sent to you when you turn 18. Voter registration must be completed 29 days prior to the election.
