This bill would tighten Florida’s voting rules by requiring voter registration applicants to confirm they have read instructions and are U.S. citizens, with citizenship verified through DMV records. Those unconfirmed become “unverified voters” and cannot vote until providing proof like a passport or birth certificate; provisional ballots may be cast but only count if proof is submitted promptly. The state will regularly recheck voter records and share data with courts and the DMV. All voting must use paper ballots, with audits for accuracy and manual reviews in close contests. The bill also bans foreign donations, increases penalties for election violations, sets a five-year statute of limitations for election fraud, and requires licenses and ID cards to display citizenship status.
