Overview

RULE:

1S-2.043

Electronic File Reporting Relating to Vote-by-Mail Ballot Request Information and Early Voting Activity

PURPOSE:

The primary purpose of the proposed rule revision is to conform the rule to provisions in Chapter 2011-40, Laws of Florida, which change the requirements set out in the rule. In particular, section 11 which will take effect on July 1, 2012, includes file specifications and changes the timeline for reporting precinct-level election results and voting history will supersede the requirements set out in rule. Additionally, sections 37 and 39 (which took effect May 19, 2011, the day the bill became law) affect the wording of subsections (3) and (4) of the rule as relates to absentee ballot request information and early voting history upload. This will be a second rules workshop in a series. No statement of estimated regulatory cost is triggered and therefore no statement is prepared. Since no SERC is required or prepared, and no information exists other than past experiences associated with this subject matter, the proposed rule is not expected to require legislative ratification pursuant to section 120.541(3), Florida Statutes, or any other statute, in order to become effective.

SUBJECT:

Electronic reporting requirements for absentee ballot requests, voting history, voter registration history and election results.
