Florida elections supervisors want to make it easier to vote by mail

Among the voting restrictions the GOP-controlled Florida Legislature has enacted since the 2020 presidential election is a law requiring voters to renew their vote-by-mail (VBM) ballot requests every two years instead of every four years. That 2021 law saw requests for VBM ballots plummet in the 2024 election, and it’s depressed the number of requests for VBM ballots in two congressional special elections taking place right now. That situation prompted a group of supervisors of elections on Tuesday to recommend to state lawmakers allow voters to check a box on the return envelopes of their mail ballots requesting that their vote-by-mail ballots request remain active for the next election.
