A crucial deadline is a week away if you plan to vote in the election Nov. 5 and haven’t registered to vote.

Eligible Florida voters must be registered with their county’s supervisor of elections by Oct. 7.

Along with the presidential race, Florida voters will choose federal and state lawmakers and weigh in on state ballot amendments like Amendment 3, which would legalize marijuana usage and possession for users that are 21 years of age or older.

Also on the ballot is Amendment 4. The amendment would provide a constitutional right to abortion before fetal viability, estimated to be around 24 weeks, or when necessary to protect the patient’s health, as determined by the patient’s health care provider.

Florida allows each county the opportunity to have 15 days of early voting. To check if your county has extended early voting, check with your local supervisor of elections.
