Bill Summary · SB 390

Legislative bill overview

SB 390 addresses regulations governing ballot boxes in Florida elections. The bill was introduced in January 2025 by Senator Ileana Garcia and referred to multiple committees including Ethics and Elections, Criminal Justice, and Rules. The measure died in committee in June 2025 after being indefinitely postponed in May.

Why is this important

Ballot box security and accessibility are core election administration issues that affect voter participation and public confidence in electoral integrity. Florida, as a large swing state, faces significant scrutiny over its election procedures, making ballot box regulations a politically sensitive policy area with statewide implications.

Potential points of contention

  • Election security vs. accessibility trade-offs: Stricter ballot box regulations could enhance security but may reduce convenient voting access, particularly for voters with mobility challenges or limited availability
  • Partisan debate over election integrity: Ballot box measures are frequently debated along partisan lines, with different stakeholders emphasizing either fraud prevention or voter access
  • Implementation and cost concerns: New regulations may require municipal election offices to invest in equipment upgrades, staff training, and infrastructure changes
