Bill > S1914

This bill makes several key changes to Florida's election laws: It requires the Secretary of State to be elected rather than appointed, and it changes voter registration procedures to require applicants to designate a party affiliation or select "No Party Affiliation." The bill also establishes same-day voter registration at early voting sites or polling places, and requires the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles to provide opportunities for voter pre-registration. It removes a requirement for third-party voter registration organizations to provide certain notices, and establishes General Election Day as a paid holiday. Additionally, the bill makes changes to vote-by-mail ballot procedures, including expanding the cure period for signature deficiencies, and it requires the Division of Elections to maintain a strategic elections equipment reserve. Overall, the bill aims to modify various aspects of Florida's electoral process.
