Faced with contentious elections, along with growing threats of cyber attacks and false assertions of widespread fraud, Seminole County Supervisor of Elections Chris Anderson announced plans to combat these challenges.

“The first thing that we’re going to do is we’re going to educate the voters and let them know here are the changes that are coming your way,” Anderson said.
The measure (SB 90) focuses largely on vote-by-mail process, mirroring in some aspects of proposals being considered or passed by other GOP-led legislatures throughout the country.
“We’re going to take a look at all the changes that were made. Implement them, follow the rules and do what we can to lessen the blow to the voter if there is any at all,” Anderson said.
Some of the more controversial measures in the bill include the requirement of ballot drop boxes to be physically monitored at all times, those boxes only placed at Supervisor’s offices or early voting locations, and voters may only drop off ballots for themselves or immediate family members.
