All Florida Lawmakers Registered To Vote In The Right District

September 3, 2013

None of the state Legislature’s members are registered to vote outside their districts, according to a letter from the Department of State obtained by the Tampa Bay Times.

“We have determined that the full residential address recorded as of August 29, 2013, in the Florida Voter Registration System for each legislator is located within the district to which he or she has been elected,” says the letter to Senate President Don Gaetz, R-Niceville, and House Speaker Will Weatherford, R-Wesley Chapel.

Gaetz and Weatherford asked for the review in the wake of questions asked by Sen. Jack Latvala, R-Clearwater, and other critics who charge that some legislators don’t live in their districts.
