Data coverage & gaps
Sources
Every number traces to a row in data.csv with its source URL. Days-out = Election Day minus the date the state report was posted (reports are cumulative through the prior day).
Law changes that affect comparisons
Florida's mail-ballot rules changed in 2021, which lowers mail requests compared with 2018.
- 2021 · Senate Bill 90: a vote-by-mail request now lasts only through the end of the year of the next general election (one cycle instead of two), so voters must re-request every cycle. Mail requests were much higher before this took effect, so 2018 mail numbers aren't a like-for-like comparison. SB 90 also limited drop boxes to early-voting hours/locations (staffed). Florida Senate: SB 90 · FL Division of Elections
- 2023 · Senate Bill 7050: further vote-by-mail and registration-procedure changes. Florida Senate: SB 7050
