Overview

RULE:

1S-2.040

Statewide Uniform Voter Registration Application

PURPOSE:

The primary purpose of the proposed rule revision is to conform to law that impacted the instructions but not the substantive content of the statewide voter registration application.. The law eliminated 2 forms of identification for persons who registered by mail for the 1st time and who are 1st time voters in Florida. This change was made to conform to a change in the prior year to the list of acceptable identification forms that persons could present before voting at the polls. The law also changed the earliest that a person could preregister from a 15 year old with a driver’s license to simply anyone who is 16 years old. Other format and non-substantive changes are made to streamline the form, DS-DE #39, which is incorporated by reference into the rule.

SUMMARY:

Updating the instructions and form for the statewide voter registration application.
