AI Summary
- Expands the vote-by-mail ballot cure affidavit process to allow electors whose signature does not match registration records to cure their ballot, in addition to those with missing signatures
- Requires supervisors of elections to immediately notify electors upon receipt of a vote-by-mail ballot with a missing or mismatched signature, with a cure deadline of 5 p.m. on the day before the election
- Establishes a two-tier identification system for curing ballots: Tier 1 includes current photo ID such as Florida driver license, Florida ID card, U.S. passport, military ID, or government employee ID; Tier 2 (used only without Tier 1) includes documents showing name and address such as utility bills, bank statements, or government checks
- Allows a vote-by-mail ballot to be counted when the cure affidavit signature does not match registration records, provided the elector submits a current and valid Tier 1 photo identification confirming their identity
