The Division of Elections is aware of the rulemaking procedures prescribed by Section 120.54, Florida Statutes. That process requires advance notice to the general public of intended rules and the opportunity to submit comments on the intended rule, prior to the agency’s adoption of the rule. The time period for general rulemaking takes at least 60 days and will prevent the timely amendment and adoption of Rule 1S-2.037, F.A.C., needed prior to the municipal election in Pinellas County and in any other election that may be scheduled within the next 2-3 months in a county using the Sequoia Touch Screen Voting System.
