Summary


Specifically, the proposed changes highlight what evidence must be presented by a specific class of voters who may vote provisionally, i.e., those who vote provisionally solely because their Florida driver’s license number, Florida identification card number, or social security number was unverified by the time they presented to vote. Such provisional ballot voter can either present identification in person or provide a copy of such identification by mail, fax or email to the Supervisor of Elections. The identification must still be presented to or received by Supervisor of Elections no later than 5 pm. of the second day following the election if the voter wants the evidence to be considered by the county canvassing board for purposes of counting the provisional ballot. The proposed changes also eliminate reference to the procedures that were applicable prior to January 1, 2008 and also make non-substantive organizational changes to the rule.
