Purpose


This rule development workshop is necessary to reflect a change to Section 101.62, Florida Statutes, made in Chapter 2010-167, Laws of Florida, that changes the requirements relating to electronic upload for reporting absentee ballot request information. The law now requires continuous daily reporting of absentee ballot request information to begin 60 days before a primary election and to end 15 days after the general election. Preliminary changes are also made to correct statutory cross-references and to expand the reporting file to include an absentee ballot requester’s e-mail address and fax number information if provided.
