Election Reform Passes House, Heads Back to Senate

The Florida House of Representatives has passed a key elections reform bill, by a vote of 115-1, which now returns to the Senate for a final up-and-down vote.

HB 7013 ("Florida Election Code") would substantially increase the the hours and days allowed for early voting, impose word limits on ballot summaries for Legislature-proposed constitutional amendments, and allow voters to correct absentee ballots that contain missing signatures.
