MIAMI (CBSMiami.com) – If you're hoping to cast a ballot in the 2016 Florida primary, Tuesday is the last day to register.

The deadline is for anyone who is not already a registered voter.

The presidential preference primary  is March 15th.

You can register at county elections offices, public libraries, military recruitment offices or driver's license offices.

In order to register to vote in Florida, you must:

1. Be a Citizen of the United States of America
2. Be a Florida resident
3. Be 18 years old
4. Not have been adjudicated mentally incapacitated with respect to voting in Florida or any other state without having the right to vote restored
5. Not have been convicted of a felony without your civil rights having been restored
6. Provide your current and valid Florida driver's license number or Florida identification card number

Florida is a "closed primary" state which means only voters registered with a political party may vote in that party's Primary Election.

All registered voters, regardless of party affiliation, may vote on issues and nonpartisan races during a Primary Election.
