Initiative 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 thousands of initiative petitions signed by Nassau 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),

Nassau County's actual cost of signature verification of an initiative petition is $0.95 per signature thru June 30, 2025.  Effective July 1, 2025, Nassau County's actual cost of signature verification of an initiative petition is $3.40 per signature. 

Our office will accept initiative petitions during the 90-day moratorium required in HB1205. Committees may postpone payment for petition verification until we begin processing petitions on October 1, 2025.

Initiative Petition Summaries are updated at the end of each month to reflect the total number of petitions received and validated.
