FL H0667

Department of State must establish a secure online voter registration website beginning January 1, 2015, allowing applicants to submit new registrations and updates to existing voter registration records.

Online system must verify applicant eligibility by comparing Florida driver license or identification numbers with Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles records to confirm name and date of birth consistency.

If verification fails but applicant is otherwise eligible, system issues unique identification number and submits application to county supervisor of elections for standard processing; applicants without digital signatures on file receive postcard notice requesting signature by registration deadline.

Upon submission, website generates immediate electronic confirmation and provides applicants ability to check application status; supervisors of elections process applications according to existing procedures.

Website must comply with federal accessibility requirements under Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act, with accessibility verified by independent experts.
