On Friday, The Florida House Of Representatives passed a revision of Florida election codes. The bill aims to unify election codes in advance of the 2012 elections.

“The bill (HB 1355) surfaced in the House Government Operations Committee, where sponsor Dennis Baxley, R-Ocala, described the measure as a “cleanup bill” in advance of the 2012 presidential election and the upcoming redrawing of all legislative and congressional districts. The most controversial provision would end a 40-year-old practice that allows voters to update their voting addresses at the polls on election day, as long as they sign an affidavit swearing that the new address is their correct address.”
