What is a Third-Party Voter Registration Organization?Back
A third-party voter registration organization means any person, entity, or organization that solicits or collects any voter registration application, but does not include:
- a person who seeks only to register to vote or collect a voter registration application from that person’s spouse, child, or parent;
or - a person engaged in registering to vote or collecting voter registration applications as an employee or agent of the Division of Elections, supervisor of elections, DHSMV, or an official voter registration agency.
What does a Third-Party Voter Registration Organization have to file?Back
Prior to engaging in any voter registration activities, a third-party voter registration organization must register by submitting Form DS-DE 119 (eff. 06/2011) as an e-mail attachment in pdf format to 3PVRO@dos.state.fl.us or transmitting it to the Division’s facsimile machine at 850-245-6291. The Division must approve the registration and assign the third-party voter registration organization an ID # before the third-party voter registration organization can conduct voter registration activities. Also, before any of its registration agents engages in voter registration activities, the registration agent must complete Form DS-DE 120. The 3PVRO must ensure that Form DS-DE 120 is submitted to the Division within 10 days of the registration agent signing the form. See s. 97.0575, Florida Statutes, and Rule 1S-2.042, Florida Administrative Code.
