Elections Integrity

Governor DeSantis, Florida's Secretary of State Laurel M. Lee and the Florida Department of State have made elections integrity a top priority. 

“Florida’s election in 2020 was accurate, transparent, and conducted in compliance with Florida law.  Florida conducted both pre- and post-election audits, and we are confident in the security and integrity of our 2020 election results," said Florida Secretary of State, Laurel M. Lee. 

"Governor DeSantis and I have made elections integrity a defining priority and a cornerstone of this administration.

At the Florida Department of State, we are committed to integrity, transparency, and to building voter confidence in our elections process by providing accurate information to the public.” 

We work hard to meet the highest standards for security and integrity, and we've done that in a variety of ways, whether that's through pre- and post-election audits, continual assessment and strengthening of our elections cybersecurity, and developing partnerships to ensure the integrity of the election. 

Florida was a model for successful election administration in the 2020 election cycle, and we continue to seek ways to improve our processes.

In 2020, the Department received 262 Elections Fraud Complaint forms and referred 75 to law enforcement or prosecuting authorities.
In addition to reviewing formal Elections Fraud Complaint forms, of which the Department received 262 in 2020, the Department also continually receives and reviews complaints and information containing allegations of elections fraud from other sources, including but not limited to emails and telephone calls from the public, Supervisors of Elections, other local and state officials, and law enforcement. If, after a preliminary investigation, there is reason to believe that elections fraud may have occurred, the Department refers the information to the statewide prosecutor, the relevant state attorney, or an appropriate law enforcement agency for further investigation and prosecution.
Florida's Voting Systems

The Florida Secretary of State’s Office oversees voting systems certification. Any voting system used in an election in Florida must first be tested and approved for purchase and use. The State rigorously tests voting systems to ensure the integrity of our elections process.

Post-Election Audits

Before each election, every county performs a Logic and Accuracy Test to ensure that ballots are printed correctly and that the voting system is counting votes correctly.

Florida's Election Integrity Safeguards

We’re confident in Florida’s election integrity. Florida's elections systems are secure. Florida's Legislature has enacted statutes ensuring that elections in this state are secure, fair, and above all, accurate.
