Orlando, Fla. ? Florida’s election supervisors are proposing one way to make voting easier: Do away with Election Day.

Voters would cast ballots during a span of several days or weeks ending on the traditional voting day, under a plan endorsed Tuesday by supervisors at their meeting in Orlando. The group will now lobby lawmakers for changes during the spring legislative session.

The overwhelming response to this year’s 15 days of early voting — when an estimated 2.3 million people cast ballots statewide before Election Day — convinced most supervisors that voters are now demanding new freedom to show up at the time and place of their own choice.

The change would dramatically reform the way the state runs its elections, effectively creating a more streamlined system needing fewer poll workers, precincts and equipment.

Voters would no longer be required to report to assigned precincts, even on Election Day. Instead, people would be able to select from a number of large “voting centers” in their county.

“It’s a leap in the way we think about things,” said Pasco County Supervisor Kurt Browning. “It would be the logical next step.”

Though the proposal is still in its infancy with few details hammered out, the group of Florida’s 67 county supervisors modeled their proposal after one Colorado county’s election setup.

Larimer County, Colo., did away with traditional precincts this year and replaced them with “vote centers.” Instead of having 190 polling places, officials created 31 vote centers throughout the county.

The cost of the bringing the plan to Florida is unknown, Browning said, but it could cut expenses just as supervisors are scrambling to find money to meet new federal and state requirements to improve access for disabled voters and to upgrade voting equipment.

The change would do away with a lot of election headaches, supervisors say, because it would, by some estimates, cut in half the number of polling places.
