Purpose
The proposed changes are made to the Polling Place Procedures Manual, DS-DE 11, which is incorporated by reference. This manual is used at the polls as a procedural reference guide for poll workers during the early voting period and Election Day. Some of the changes are necessary to effectuate the changes to the Florida Election Code with the enactment of Chapter 2007-30, Laws of Florida, that become effective July 2008, and that relate to the requirement for optical scan voting systems and voting by marksense ballot. The remaining changes are nonsubstantive and consist of rewording of existing provisions.
