1 DIVISION OF ELECTIONS 2000 FLORIDA REGISTRATION AND VOTING GUIDE Your Vote Is Your Voice FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF STATE Katherine Harris Secretary of State

2 FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF STATE Katherine Harris Secretary of State July 27, 1999 Dear Fellow Floridian, The National Voter Registration Act of 1993 and the corresponding Florida Voter Registration Act (effective January 1, 1995) forever changed the method by which most Floridians register to vote. The goal of these acts was to make registration easier and more convenient in an effort to encourage more citizens to participate in elections. Citizens are now afforded a wide range of opportunities to register to vote. In addition to the county supervisor of elections office, Floridians may register to vote at various state agencies which provide services to the public including driver s license offices, public assistance offices, offices that serve persons with disabilities, public libraries, centers for independent living and armed forces recruitment centers or request an application by mail. Equally important, this legislation permits Florida citizens to register to vote by mail at any location on any day of the week. In 1997, the Division of Elections provided the voter registration application via the Internet ( In addition, the Higher Education Act included a provision requiring the distribution of voter registration forms by colleges and universities to their respective students. Finally, any individual or group including churches, may request, in writing, voter registration applications from the Division of Elections to aid in their voter registration efforts. The year 2000 is a very important election year. We will elect many of our federal, state and local officials including our President and Vice President. I encourage each of you to register today so that you will be eligible to vote not only in the 2000 elections, but also in future elections. The Department of State and the county supervisors of elections will continue to go to great lengths to provide citizens with the opportunity to register and vote. Democracy is strengthened and freedom is protected when citizens become active in the electoral process. On behalf of all Floridians, thank you for being involved. Sincerely yours, Katherine Harris Secretary of State 2

4 How Important Is One Vote In 1645, one vote gave Oliver Cromwell control of England. In 1649, one vote caused Charles I of England to be executed. In 1845, one vote brought Texas into the Union. In 1868, one vote saved President Andrew Johnson from impeachment. In 1875, one vote changed France from a monarchy to a republic. In 1876, one vote gave Rutherford B. Hayes the presidency of the U.S. In 1923, one vote gave Adolph Hitler leadership of the Nazi Party. In 1941, one vote saved Selective Service just weeks before Pearl Harbor was attacked. Throughout the history of our great nation, men and women have made many great sacrifices to ensure your right to vote many have made the ultimate sacrifice. Honor them by voting, it is your constitutional right! The 2000 Elections Calendar Presidential Preference Primary...March 14, 2000 First Primary Election...

6 Who Can Register And Vote To register and vote, you must either be 18 years of age or have reached that age before the next election. You must also be a U.S. citizen and a legal resident of Florida and of the county where you intend to vote. (see section , Florida Statutes) How To Register You must fill out a voter registration application form. Voter registration applications are available at your local supervisor of elections offices, the Division of Elections (also see our web site at driver s license offices, state agencies that provide public assistance, libraries and many other public locations. You will be offered the opportunity to apply to register to vote or change your voter registration when you obtain your driver s license or when you apply for public assistance at state agencies. A voter registration application is complete if it contains: Your name. Your legal residence address. Your date of birth. An indication that you are a citizen of the United States. The last four digits of your social security number. An indication that you have not been convicted of a felony or that, if convicted, you have had your civil rights restored. An indication that you have not been adjudicated mentally incapacitated with respect to voting or that, if so adjudicated, you have had your right to vote restored. You must sign the oath printed on the form swearing or affirming under the penalty for false swearing that the information contained in the registration application is true. NOTE: An applicant who fails to designate a political party affiliation will be registered without party affiliation. (see section , Florida Statutes) 6

7 When Can You Register You can apply to register to vote at any time. However, the registration books will be closed on the 29 th day before each election and will remain closed until after that election (see below for dates). You must be registered for at least 29 days before you can vote in an election. The date your voter registration application is postmarked or hand delivered to your county supervisor of elections will be your registration date. If your application is complete and you are qualified as a voter, a registration identification card will be mailed to you. When the registration books are closed for an election, voter registration and party changes must be accepted, but only for the purpose of subsequent elections. However, party changes received between the book-closing date of the first primary election and the date of the second primary election are not effective until after the second primary election. (see section , Florida Statutes) Dates Registration Will Close Presidential Preference Primary...February 14, 2000 First Primary...August 7, 2000 Second Primary... September 5, 2000 General Election...

Persons who have been convicted of any felony in any court and who have not had their right to vote restored. Any person who is not a citizen of the United States. (see section , Florida Statutes) 7

8 Primary Elections Florida has primary and run-off systems of elections. Only voters who are registered members of the two major political parties (Republicans, Democrats) may vote for their respective party s candidates in primary elections. Registered minor political party voters and voters without party affiliation are not eligible to vote for major party candidates in primary elections. However, Article VI, Section 5(b), Florida Constitution, provides that if all candidates have the same party affiliation and the winner will have no opposition in the general election, all qualified electors, regardless of party affiliation, may vote in the primary elections for that office. Nonpartisan judicial and school board offices, special districts and local referendum questions are included in primary elections. All registered voters, including those without party affiliation and minor political party voters are entitled to receive and vote these ballots. At general elections, all voters receive the same ballot and may vote for any candidate or question on the ballot. (see sections , , and , Florida Statutes Article VI, Section 5(b), Florida Constitution) Removal And Reinstatement Of Names On Voter Rolls Periodically, supervisors of elections will send address confirmation final notices to voters when the post office has indicated that these voters have moved outside the supervisor s county or left a forwarding address. All voters who have been mailed an address confirmation final notice and who do not return the form within 30 days will be placed on the inactive voter registration list. Voters on the inactive list can be reinstated by updating their voter registration, appearing to vote, or requesting an absentee ballot, providing their status has not changed. However, after two general federal elections from the date the final notice was sent, all inactive voters who show no activity will be removed from the registration records and must register again in order to vote. (see section , Florida Statutes) Absentee Voters Qualified electors are permitted to vote absentee under Florida law if they: Are unable to go to the polls on election day. Have not voted and will not vote more than one ballot in this election. (see section , Florida Statutes) 8

9 How To Vote Absentee An elector, or someone designated by the elector, may request an absentee ballot from the supervisor of elections in person, by mail or by telephone. One request can cover all elections within a calendar year. The person requesting an absentee ballot must disclose: The name of the elector for whom the ballot is requested; The elector s address; The last four digits of the elector s social security number; The registration number on the elector s identification card; The requester s name; The requester s address; The requester s social security number and, if available, driver s license number; The requester s relationship to the elector; and, The requester s signature (written request only). Marked ballots must be mailed or delivered in person reaching the supervisor of elections office not later than 7 p.m. on the day of the election. Designees may pick up no more than two absentee ballots per election and must have written authorization by the elector, present a picture I.D. and sign an affidavit. Candidates may pick up absentee ballots only for members of their immediate family. If you have obtained an absentee ballot but are able to vote in your precinct on election day, you must take the ballot with you to the polls, whether or not it has been marked. However, if you are unable to return the ballot, you may execute an affidavit stating that the absentee ballot has not been voted and then vote at your precinct. (see sections and , Florida Statutes) When Voters Move Generally, you cannot vote in any precinct other than the one in which you live and are registered; however, if you are temporarily living outside your home county, you can apply to be registered and vote in the precinct that contains the main office of the supervisor of elections. These electors will not be registered to vote in municipal elections. If you move your residence outside your assigned precinct, you may vote in the precinct to which you have moved. If you move to another county in Florida after the closing of the registration books for an election, you may be allowed to vote for President and Vice President, United States Senator, statewide offices and statewide issues in your former county through the general election, but not after. (see sections and , Florida Statutes) 9

10 Registration Is A Public Record In Florida, voter registration records are open to the public and may be examined, but not duplicated or sold commercially, by anyone. When there are official requests for lists of registered voters or for information relating to electors who voted in a particular election following that election, supervisors of elections have 15 days to respond. These official requests may be made only by government agencies, candidates, registered political committees, registered committees of continuous existence, political parties, and incumbent officeholders. No person who acquires such a list, shall use any information contained therein for purposes which are not related to elections, political or governmental activities, voter registration, or law enforcement. (see section , Florida Statutes) Poll Watchers Each political party and each candidate may have one poll watcher in each voting room at any one time during an election. Poll watchers must be registered electors in the county and cannot be candidates or law enforcement officers. Each party and each candidate requesting to have poll watchers must designate, in writing to the supervisor of elections, poll watchers for each precinct prior to noon of the second Tuesday preceding the election. Election Poll Watcher Designation First Primary August 22, 2000 Second Primary September 19, 2000 General Election October 24, 2000 (see section , Florida Statutes) Poll Workers Poll inspectors and clerks are appointed by the supervisor at least 20 days before an election. Individuals desiring to work at the polls must contact their local supervisor of elections. (see section , Florida Statutes) Assistance In Voting Upon request, a need for assistance at the polls may be designated on an elector s registration record. The elector can designate someone of his or her own choice, other than an employer, or an officer or agent of the person s union. Election officials may also provide assistance. (see section and , Florida Statutes) 10

11 Nonpartisan Judicial Elections Candidates for the Florida Supreme Court and District Courts of Appeal will appear on the ballot in the general election only for a vote on their retention. Candidates for circuit and county court will appear on the first primary ballot and on the general election ballot, if necessary. (see section , Florida Statutes) Merit Retention or Election of Circuit and County Court Judges On the November 7, 2000 General Election Ballot, the following two questions will appear: 1. Shall Circuit Court Judges in the (number of the circuit) Judicial Circuit be selected through merit selection and retention? Yes No ❷ ❷ 2. Shall County Court Judges in (name of county) be selected through merit selection and retention? Yes No ❷ ❷ This will allow voters the opportunity to select the method in which Circuit and County Court Judges will appear on future election ballots. Currently, only Supreme Court Justices and Judges of the District Courts of Appeal are selected by merit retention. How To Report Election Law Violations Violations relating to chapters 104 and 106, Florida Statutes, should be reported by sworn written complaint to the Florida Elections Commission, Room 2002, The Capitol, Tallahassee, Florida , (850) The FEC is an entity not aligned or affiliated with the Division of Elections, Department of State.

23 DIVISION OF ELECTIONS THE SECRET BALLOT The secret ballot is the keystone of our system of self determination. It is the foundation of our liberty and its strength is magnified through use. The exercise of the secret ballot is more than in inherent right, it is a responsibility. A ballot not cast is in fact a vote against the form of government that permits it. The greatest threat to our way of life is posed by the apathy of citizens who do not care enough to cast their ballots. VOTE, and the Choice is Yours. DON T VOTE, and the Choice is Theirs. REGISTER, or You Have No Choice. FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF STATE Katherine Harris Secretary of State 23
