Press Release

Nonpartisan voting rights groups in Florida’s Election Protection Coalition are concerned about voter challenges prompted by the state in at least 12 counties to the voting eligibility of over 1,900 Floridians on the eve of a major election.

More than 15,000 vote-by-mail ballots have been set aside, and Florida voters have until next Thursday to fix.

Early voting will be up and running in every Florida county, and registered voters can still request and get a vote-by-mail ballot.

Voters who have questions or problems can contact the nonpartisan Election Protection hotline at 866-OUR-VOTE.

Common Cause Florida is opposing Amendment 2, a ballot measure that will go before voters in the Nov. 8 election and stands to remove an important pathway Floridians have to change their state’s constitution.

Common Cause Florida and the nonpartisan Florida Election Protection Coalition called on our state leaders earlier this week to remove barriers voters are facing in the wake of the storm.
