The bill amends section 102.031 of the Florida Statutes to allow photography in polling rooms and early voting areas under specific conditions. Previously, photography was not permitted in these areas, but the new language specifies that while photography is generally not allowed when the polling room or early voting area is open, an elector is permitted to photograph their own ballot. Additionally, the bill clarifies that a polling room is considered open until all electors in line have cast their votes.

The effective date for this change is set for July 1, 2025. This amendment aims to provide voters with the ability to document their voting experience while maintaining the integrity and order of the polling process.
