OSCEOLA COUNTY -- You may have heard of the "No Match, No Vote" law, but do you know if you're on the list?

Hundreds of Central Floridians are in that category and many don’t even know it.

In Osceola alone, there are over 600 people whose voter registration did not match driver’s licenses or social security records.

This weekend, election officials said they are continuing to send out letters to let them know that they'll need to bring additional proof to prove they are who they say they are.

"When we talk about ‘no voter, no match,’ it's a pending status. So the voter that appears with that status will be directed to go to the clerk. When the clerk finds that voter on the syste,m we've instructed them to call us. We want to talk to the voter. We want to verify the identification, see what they have, see what we can do," said Rosa Cruz.

If you fall on the "no match" list, simply bring some sort of government-issued photo identification such as a driver’s license, Florida I.D. or a passport, and you will be given a ballot.

Remember, even if you don’t have identification, you still have the right to vote, but it will be on a provisional ballot and you'll have two days to provide the identification.
