Purpose


The primary purpose of the proposed rule is to codify current practices and procedures that have arisen out of implementing state law requirements to maintain accurate and current voter registration rolls. These procedures have evolved from law adopted in 2005 (ch. 2005-277 and 2005-278, Laws of Florida), in 2007 (ch. 2007-30, Laws of Florida, and in 2008 (ch. 2008-95, Laws of Florida). The proposed rule provides procedures for processing address change information to ensure that the Florida Voter Registration System maintains only current and accurate addresses of legal residence for registered voters. The proposed rule also provides procedures for processing information received regarding the potential ineligibility of registered voters to ensure that only persons who are eligible are registered and able to vote.
