Supreme Court of Florida

Advisory Opinion to the Attorney General Re: Citizenship Requirement to Vote in Florida Elections

January 16, 2020288 So. 3d 524

Summary

The court approved a proposed constitutional amendment requiring United States citizenship, along with other existing qualifications, for voting in Florida elections. Applying a deferential review limited to the single-subject and ballot-clarity requirements, the court held that the amendment presents one unified subject and that its title and summary fairly and accurately inform voters without being affirmatively misleading.
