Voting Rights

A coalition of 36 groups sent a letter to legislative leaders warning that Black, Latino Floridians will face voter registration barriers.

A 108-page House bill was just released, containing a long list of anti-voter measures that will erect even more barriers to people's fundamental rights to vote.

“After years of Florida being the gold standard in well-run elections, this bill would make it harder for elections officials to administer a safe and secure election for all.”

Florida lawmakers begin their annual legislative session Tuesday, with the potential for attacks on voting rights and on citizens’ abilities to have a say in their own governance expected to be a focus.

All vote-by-mail requests in Florida expired at the end of 2022, affecting millions of voters.

The new law is an unnecessary and wasteful expansion of state prosecutorial power that could intimidate eligible voters with past convictions from exercising their right to vote.
