Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has signed a new elections bill, HB 991, into law, introducing stricter voter ID requirements and citizenship verification. Starting July 1st, new drivers licenses and state ID cards will display U.S. citizenship status. The bill also includes a strict oath affirming U.S. citizenship for voter registration, bans certain types of ID for voting, and imposes penalties for foreign campaign contributions. Candidates must now swear U.S. citizenship and disclose dual status, with federal hopefuls required to commit to not trading stocks personally after winning. Enforcement measures include a five-year window for prosecuting election felonies and fines for foreign meddling. Most changes take effect January 1st, 2027, but the citizenship status update on drivers licenses happens sooner.
