No initiative petitions filed in Florida for 2012 ballot Feb 02, 2012

By Eric Veram

Florida: Yesterday's signature filing deadline passed without a single public petition filing or meeting the qualifications for appearing on the ballot. This essentially means that the only measures voters will get a say in this November, are those proposed by the legislature.^[1] However, those measures that did not qualify or gather enough signatures may remain in circulation for some time, with the signatures already acquired being valid for 2 years.

Currently there are 7^[2] legislatively-referred measures set to appear on the November 6, 2012 state ballot and are listed below:

Governor • Lieutenant Governor • Attorney General • Secretary of State • Chief Financial Officer • Commissioner of Education • Commissioner of Insurance • Commissioner of Insurance • Secretary of Environmental Protection • Director of Agency for Workforce Innovation • Chair of Public Service Commission
