Petitions

In Florida, the people have the right to propose amendments to the Florida Constitution through an initiative petition process. Throughout the year, we verify tens of thousands of initiative petitions signed by Hillsborough County voters. Sponsors of these initiatives must secure the required number of valid signatures in order for their initiative to be placed on a General Election ballot. 

Pursuant to Florida Statute 100.371(11)b, Hillsborough County’s actual cost of signature verification of an initiative petition is $0.65. (as of 2/2/24)  

More information on Florida's petition process, including a list of current initiatives, can be found here.

Voter registration applications and other written communications to or from the Supervisor of Elections are public records and are available to the public and media upon request unless the information is subject to a specific statutory exemption. Email addresses are also public records. If you do not want your email address released in response to a public records request, please do not email us.
