Florida
All Voting is Local Florida works with and advocates for local and state elections officials to improve voter access and mitigate the harm of the state’s restrictive voting laws. To protect the rights of all Florida voters, we call on officials to provide more access to early voting, vote-by-mail, and ballot drop boxes. All Voting FL works to protect voters from the troubling impact resulting from bad policies that create barriers for voters.
Take Action
All Floridians deserve the freedom to vote. When we work together, we can push back on the threats to our voting rights. We need election policies that protect our access to the ballot and leaders who will protect our democracy. Take the pledge to push a proactive, pro-voter agenda in Florida.
Due to a new Florida law regarding mail-in voting, all voters who had a vote-by-mail request on file before the November 2022 midterm elections must submit a new request if they wish to vote by mail in upcoming elections. Voters will have to request their mail ballots each general election cycle moving forward.
FEATURED WORK
All Voting Florida successfully pushed for a much-needed early voting site on the campus of Jacksonville’s historically Black university, Edward Waters University, after years of fostering a space for voting rights organizations to connect with and empower local activists, faith leaders, and concerned citizens in Duval County, Florida – which is more than 30 percent Black. Our multiyear advocacy efforts – along with press events, rallies, and marches—laid the groundwork for this victory. The newly elected Duval County supervisor of elections (SOE) announced plans to reopen the campus early voting site for 2024, along with four others across the county, after the previous SOE had arbitrarily removed them.
