ELECTIONS

Overview

RULE:

1S-2.037

Provisional Ballots

PURPOSE:

The purpose of the proposed amendment is to conform the rule to the change made recently by the Florida Legislature through the enactment of chapter 2007-30, Laws of Florida, that reduced the number of days from 3 days to 2 days in which provisional ballot voters have to submit to the supervisor of elections written evidence supporting their eligibility to vote before their provisional ballot can be counted. This requirement does not apply to a provisional ballot voter who voted a provisional ballot because he or she did not have the proper identification. Such provisional ballot voter is not required to provide written evidence of his or her eligibility to the supervisor of elections. In such cases, the ballot will be counted if the signature on the Provisional Ballot Voter’s Certification and Affirmation matches the signature in the person’s voter registration record.

SUMMARY:

The proposed rule amendment conforms the rule regarding provisional ballot voters to a recent legislative change in the Florida Election Code. No changes are required for the forms incorporated by reference.
