Florida House Advances Citizenship-Verification Voting Bill
TL;DR Summary
The Florida House voted 83-31 to move forward a sweeping voting bill that would require proof of U.S. citizenship to register and would verify the citizenship status of all existing registered voters not yet verified, potentially disenfranchising tens of thousands. The measure would take effect in January 2027 (a Senate version would take effect in July), mirrors a pending federal proposal, and would remove several commonly used IDs at the polls, drawing criticism as disenfranchisement and support as security.
