AI Summary
This bill creates a new section in Florida law, 101.0011, to allow supervisors of elections to designate and establish "super voting sites" in their counties. These super voting sites would allow any voter registered in the county to cast a ballot, rather than being limited to their assigned precinct. The bill outlines various requirements and procedures for operating these super voting sites, including the location, hours of operation, reporting requirements, and how ballots cast at the sites must be tracked and counted. The bill also makes conforming changes to other sections of Florida's election laws to accommodate the super voting site option. Overall, the bill aims to provide additional and more flexible voting opportunities for Florida voters.
