Rules for Petition Collection
- All petitions must be filled out by voters who are registered in the state of Florida.
- Best practice is to fill out petitions in blue or black ink
- All petitions should be checked to ensure that all information is filled out, and that the information is legible
- Ripped, damaged, or illegible petitions are not accepted by the Supervisor of Election
- All petitions should be submitted to you Florida Decides Healthcare or your organization within a week so that they can be reviewed for quality control. When you are done collecting petitions, please sort into counties, and return the signed petitions to your organization or to Florida Decides Healthcare with a cover sheet if you are submitting more than one.
- Petitions can be mailed to Florida Decides Healthcare, P.O. Box 10829 Tallahassee, FL 32302
- If you have any questions about this procedure please contact us at floridadecideshealthcare@gmail.com
Remember
- Be Polite & Respect Personal Space. No need to chase people down or block their paths.
- Keep it Simple. No need to debate or have all the answers. People don’t need to understand the issue fully or agree with us to support having a public conversation and a vote in 2024.
- Double Check for Completeness. We need signatures AND legible addresses.
- Gather petitions on public property whenever possible. If you are asked to leave private property, do so immediately and politely.
- It’s okay not to know. You may not have the answer to a question asked. That’s okay. Avoid giving misinformation at all costs. Stay on message and admit if you do not know something and offer to collect the individual’s information so that an organizer can follow up with an answer.
- Please return your petitions to your local organizer or mail to the campaign within one week
- Please don’t forget to include a cover sheet
- Petitions can be mailed to Florida Decides Healthcare, P.O. Box 10829 Tallahassee, FL 32302
