Question ID: 556882
I just became a naturalized citizen of the USA, and now I'd like to vote.

Can you tell me how to register?

I don't want to go through any middle-man or organization. I'd prefer
to use the proper form(s) and deal directly with the proper
authorities.

I live in Tampa, Florida.

Hi rambler,

Congratulations! Registering to vote is fairly straight forward and
you are correct, you certainly don't need a middleman. The first link
I've given you is the Division of Elections - Florida Department of
State. It's got lots of links to relevant info that you may be
interested in browsing through.  Otherwise, just download the .pdf and
follow the directions.
