Summary

The bill adds new eligibility rules for anyone seeking to appear on the ballot in Florida. Candidates must have been registered with their chosen party—or as independent—for 365 consecutive days before they begin the qualifying process, and they cannot have changed their name through a court petition during that time, except for changes due to marriage, divorce, or adoption. Violations can be challenged in circuit court, and a court order can block the candidate from qualifying.
