This bill aims to enhance voting opportunities on Florida College System institution and state university campuses by amending existing statutes. It mandates the establishment of at least one early voting site and one polling place on the main campus of each Florida College System institution or state university located in a county. Additionally, these early voting sites will be exempt from certain parking requirements. The bill also requires the Office of Public Policy at each state university to actively publicize these voting opportunities through various channels, including email notifications, social media, and campus signage.
The bill introduces new provisions to sections 101.657, 101.71, and 1001.93 of the Florida Statutes, which include the insertion of specific requirements for early voting sites and polling places on college campuses, as well as the obligation for publicizing voting opportunities. The effective date for this act is set for July 1, 2025.
