FL S1752

Restricts vote-by-mail eligibility to voters who expect to be absent from their county, physically unable to vote in person, residing in a VA medical facility, or confined in jail, and limits each request to a single election rather than covering all elections through the next general election cycle

Requires county canvassing boards to conduct a manual hand count of ballots in two randomly selected precincts per county before certifying results in state or federal elections; if discrepancies extrapolated countywide could change an outcome, the Secretary of State must order a full countywide manual recount

Prohibits the Department of State from approving voting systems that use non-open-source software, are produced in whole or part in a foreign country, or incorporate hardware or software from foreign-owned or non-U.S.-citizen-controlled entities

Expands mandatory early voting from the current 10th-to-3rd day window before an election to the 15th-to-2nd day before an election, while eliminating secure ballot intake stations (drop boxes) at early voting sites and restricting them to supervisor of elections offices and qualifying branch offices

Cancels all existing vote-by-mail ballot requests for the August 2024 statewide primary and subsequent elections, requiring supervisors to notify affected voters by mail, telephone, and email of the new requirements; changes take effect upon becoming law but apply starting with the August 2024 primary
