Florida Governor Ron DeSantis on Thursday issued an executive order expanding voting access for the U.S. midterm elections in three counties where Hurricane Ian destroyed polling places and displaced thousands of people.
The order extends the number of early voting days in the three counties and authorizes election supervisors to designate additional early voting locations, steps that allow voters to cast ballots at any polling place in their registered county from October 24 through Election Day, November 8. Election supervisors can also relocate or consolidate polling places if necessary.
It also waives training requirements for poll workers and suspends a signature requirement for voters requesting to have a mail ballot sent to an address that is different from the one election officials have on file.
Secretary of State Cord Byrd, a Republican appointee of the governor, said state officials are working to ensure that the election is "administered as efficiently and securely as possible across the state and in the counties that received the heaviest damage."
