97.071 Voter information card.—

(1) A voter information card must be furnished by the supervisor to all registered voters residing in the supervisor’s county. The card must contain:

(a) Voter’s registration number.

(b) Date of registration.

(d) Party affiliation.

(e) Date of birth.

(f) Address of legal residence.

(g) Precinct number.

(h) Polling place address and a link to the supervisor’s website to provide the most current polling place locations.

(i) Name of supervisor and contact information of supervisor.

(j) The following statement: “This card is for information purposes only. This card is proof of registration but is not legal verification of eligibility to vote. It is the responsibility of a voter to keep his or her eligibility status current. A voter may confirm his or her eligibility to vote with the Department of State.”

(k) Other information deemed necessary by the supervisor.

(2) A voter may receive a replacement voter information card by providing a signed, written request for a replacement card to a voter registration official. Upon verification of registration, the supervisor shall issue the voter a duplicate card without charge.

(3) In the case of a change of name, address of legal residence, polling place address, or party affiliation, the supervisor shall issue the voter a new voter information card. A temporary change made to a polling location pursuant to ss. 101.71 and 101.74 does not require the issuance of a new voter information card.
