Florida voter registration website crashes hours ahead of deadline

There were issues with the Florida voter registration website Monday hours ahead of the deadline to register to vote.

The state said the website crashed for about 15 minutes and was restored.

OVR is online and working. Due to high volume, for about 15 minutes, some users experienced delays while trying to register. We have increased capacity. You can register until midnight tonight.
Thank you to those who immediately brought this to our attention.

But a lot of people continued to have trouble connecting.

Floridians have until midnight to register, but the state’s website is the only option left for that tonight.

Now, people are calling for an extension.
