Florida lawmakers and election officials are proposing to allow “super” voting sites intended to make casting in-person ballots more convenient for voters and less costly for counties in the days leading up to future elections.
Super voting sites, or “early voting on steroids” as Bay County Supervisor of Elections Mark Andersen calls them, allows county elections offices to continue early voting procedures through Election Day.
Republican Sen. George Gainer of Panama City filed SB774, which would make super voting sites optional for counties across the Sunshine State. Rep. Thomas Maney, R-Fort Walton Beach, filed an identical bill, HB635, in the House.
