In Florida, you have to have a voter registration card stating your county and your party affiliation, issued by the voter registration bureau. I've had mine for months, when I registered (we just moved to this county in October) mine was given to me on the spot. When my husband finally registered a couple of weeks ago, they mailed him his and he got it today. I finally got his attention when I told him that not voting was going to be construed as voting for the wrong party and he was going to be sleeping on the couch for a long time if he didn't get in gear and get registered.
