Bill > S1386

This bill makes several changes to Florida's election laws: 1. It extends the deadline for a person who casts a provisional ballot to submit written evidence supporting their eligibility to vote, from 2 days to 10 days after an election. 2. It requires supervisors of elections to provide an option for electors to receive certain election-related notices by electronic delivery, such as notices about vote-by-mail ballot requests, rejections, and cure affidavits. 3. It allows an elector whose vote-by-mail ballot is rejected due to a signature discrepancy to file a challenge with the county canvassing board. 4. It clarifies that ballots cast during the early voting period may be canvassed and processed during that period. 5. It extends the deadline for supervisors to receive vote-by-mail ballots from 7 PM on election day to 10 days after the election, as long as the ballot is postmarked or dated no later than election day. 6. It requires the state Division of Elections to develop uniform guidelines and training for supervisors on signature verification procedures for vote-by-mail and provisional ballots. The bill makes several other technical and administrative changes to Florida's election processes and deadlines.
