Florida elections law

The percentage of registered voters who turned out for this election was the highest in a generation. However, there were fewer total voters compared to four years ago

The judge issued a permanent injunction against the part that targeted non-citizens, saying it violated the U.S. Constitution’s Equal Protection Clause.

A federal appeals panel heard arguments Thursday in a challenge to a 2023 law that imposes restrictions on groups that collect voter-registration applications.

Despite a couple of trouble-free election cycles in Florida, proposed legislation would create more restrictions around the voting process.

The state legislature passed a law in 2021 that limits mail-in ballots to one per election cycle.

A report by the Tampa Bay Times and Miami Herald illustrates the confusion that ensued after the arrests. The deputy director of the Florida Rights Restoration Coalition calls the system "broken."

"I think it's a scary proposition when the governor is arresting people for trying to vote," Sen. Randolph Bracy said during a press conference Monday.

Democratic attorneys general from 16 states and the District of Columbia urged a federal appeals court Tuesday to reject restrictions that Florida Republicans placed last year on election drop boxes.

A federal judge on Thursday ruled that parts of a 2021 state elections law were intended to discriminate against Black Floridians. The judge also made the rare move of putting Florida under a process known as “preclearance,” meaning that he will have to approve any changes to certain provisions to the state’s elections laws.

Florida Senate Republicans are revamping a controversial elections bill, including scaling back proposed changes to mail-in voting.
