Polling Place Procedures Manual

PURPOSE:

The purpose of the proposed rule amendments is to revise the polling place procedures manual (that is incorporated by reference) to reflect changes regarding election procedures at the polls as set forth in chapter law 2007-30, Laws of Florida. The proposed manual provides guidance to election officials and poll workers on voting activities. The manual is used both for voting and election administration activities during the early voting period and on election day. The proposed revisions to the manual includes clarification on the set up of accessible voting equipment, photography, exit polling exception to the no-solicitation provision, elimination of an employee’s badge and a buyer’s card to satisfy the identification requirements at the polls, proper precinct for voting, the timeframe in which a provisional ballot voter has to present evidence of eligibility, and touch screen devices with optical scan ballot marking and printing capability. Reformatting changes are also made.

SUMMARY:

The amendments are made to Form DS-DE #11, entitled “The Polling Place Procedures Manual,” which is incorporated by reference in the rule. The changes conform the manual to recent legislative changes affecting voting and election procedures at the polls on election day and during the early voting period.
