Florida
Florida’s recent passage of S 90 rolled back measures that promoted voter access to mail ballots; the State now has the opportunity to remedy this damage and strengthen its election system by implementing voter-centric reforms. We recommend making the semi-permanent absentee voter list truly permanent. In addition, Florida should guarantee prepaid postage and implement same-day and automatic voter registration to increase access. The State should also conduct risk-limiting audits, improve ballot tracking, and extend postmark and cure deadlines to decrease rejection rates and increase voter confidence. As always, while policy is important, effective implementation is just as important.
