Florida House Passes Bill Mandating Citizenship Checks and New Voter ID Rules. The Florida House of Representatives has approved a bill that would require citizenship verification for registered voters and restrict acceptable forms of identification used at polling places. Supporters assert these changes will enhance election integrity, while critics argue the measures could make voting more difficult for certain groups, including students, seniors, and women. The legislation reflects proposals recently endorsed at the national level and awaits further consideration in the legislative process.

Deadline Approaching for Vote-by-Mail Ballot Requests in March Local Elections. Residents of Broward and Palm Beach counties planning to vote by mail in the March 10 city, town, and village elections must submit their ballot requests by Thursday, February 26, at 5 p.m. Requests are only valid if received by county elections offices by the deadline, as postmarks are not accepted.
