Overview

RULE:

1S-2.042

Third-Party Voter Registration Organizations

PURPOSE:

To revise the procedures used by third-party voter registration organizations and election officials to align them with a federal court decision concerning the law which the rule implements.

SUMMARY:

The proposed rule restricts the registration requirement to only those organizations who actually collect voter registration applications from voters; eliminates the organization’s registration agent sworn statement form, DS-DE 120;  deletes the requirement for an organization to list its volunteer registration agents on the registration form, DS-DE 119; deletes the requirement for an organization to file a monthly report, DS-DE 123, accounting for voter registration applications; changes the time period from 48 hours to 10 days for the organization to deliver a completed voter registration application to the Division or to a supervisor of elections' office after an applicant delivers the application to the organization; and further refines the procedures for supervisors of elections regarding untimely filed voter registration applications and the procedures for the Secretary of State’s referral of a violation to Florida’s Attorney General.
