Recommendations for Increased Accessibility& Efficiency in Florida Elections Florida Department of State also designate any city hall or permanent public library facility as early voting sites. However, if so designated, these sites must be geographically located so as to provide all voters in the county an equal opportunity to cast a ballot, insofar as is possible. 3. Limit Ballot Length a. Set a word limit for proposed legislative amendments. Amend § 101.161(1) and (3)(a), Fla. Stat., to set a word limit for proposed constitutional amendments or revisions made by the Florida Legislature, unless it is determined by an extraordinary vote of the Legislature that 75 words or less cannot effectively summarize an amendment's intention and allow voters the information they need to vote in favor or against it. Current Law: All constitutional amendments and other public measures on the ballot are limited to a 75- word ballot summary in § 101.161(1), Fla. Stat., except constitutional amendments or revisions proposed by joint resolution. In 2011, the statute created an expedited judicial review process for constitutional amendments proposed by joint resolution and permitted the legislature to provide one or more ballot summaries (to include the full text of the amendment) set forth in order of priority in the joint resolution so that if a court declared all ,», the summaries defective the Attorney General must rewrite the summary to correct the deficiencies. b. Allow mail ballot elections for candidates in certain elections. Amend the Mail Ballot Election Act(§§ 101.6101 — 101.6107, Fla. Stat.) to allow mail ballot elections involving candidates in special district elections (e.g., community development districts, fire control districts, soil and water conservation districts). Current Law: No election in which any candidate is nominated, elected, retained or recalled may be a mail- ballot only election; nor may a mail ballot election be held on the same day as another election. c. Repeal statutes allowing the full text(stricken or underlined) of a constitutional amendment on a ballot. Repeal § 101.56075(4), Fla. Stat. and § 101.161(3)(b)3., Fla. Stat., which allow the full text (stricken or underlined) of a constitutional amendment or revision to be placed on a ballot.
