Florida's New Voting Law Reduces Mail-In Ballot Requests

A 2021 law signed by Gov. DeSantis is causing a significant drop in mail-in ballot requests, potentially impacting Democrats in the 2024 election.

Mail-in ballot requests in Florida have dropped from 4.3 million in 2020 to 2 million in 2024.
The law requires voters to request mail-in ballots every election cycle, reducing the validity period from two cycles to one.
Both parties are struggling to inform voters about the new requirements and deadlines.
Former President Trump has reversed his stance, now encouraging mail-in voting for Republicans.
The change could disproportionately affect Democratic voters, who have increasingly relied on mail-in voting since 2020.
