Bill Summary
Replacing the term "absentee ballot" with the term "vote-by-mail ballot", etc.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to replace the term "absentee ballot" with "vote-by-mail ballot" throughout Florida's election laws, aiming to modernize terminology and reflect current voting practices. This change is largely cosmetic but ensures consistency in how ballots cast outside of a polling place are referred to. The bill also makes minor adjustments to existing statutes related to voter registration, ballot processing, and election reporting to align with this new terminology, ensuring that all references to absentee voting now use the updated term "vote-by-mail."
