All voters must provide identification to register to vote and to cast a ballot, per Florida law. Voter rolls must be monitored to remove those are deceased.

During the primaries, Seminole County has the minimum number of early voting days and hours allowed by law. Orange County offers twice as many hours for early voting.

In 2022, the Supervisor of Elections failed to put a charter amendment on the ballot that had been requested by the city of Oviedo. As a result, the vote was delayed for a full year. Accuracy is essential for the elections office. See the article at oviedocommunitynews.org
Voters in precinct 6 must currently use the Central Florida Zoo for election day voting. Access requires a long walk outdoors for everyone, and handicapped parking is difficult to find.
By law, libraries in Florida can provide voter registration forms and submit them for processing. Seminole County libraries need to have signs letting people know they can register to vote there.

Our high school students should be fully prepared to vote the day they turn 18. I would bring official voting equipment to the high schools for student government elections.
I would make sure voter rolls are accurate and complete. I would make every effort to contact inactive voters to ensure they are not removed mistakenly. Florida should have stayed enrolled in the ERIC system to keep voter rolls up-to-date.
