Allows high school students to volunteer at polling locations without violating election funding restrictions.

This bill amends Florida law to allow high school students who are registered or preregistered to vote to volunteer at polling locations. These students can assist poll workers to earn community service hours. The bill ensures that these student volunteers are not subject to provisions prohibiting certain agencies and state and local officials from soliciting, accepting, or using private funds or personal services for election-related expenses. The changes will take effect on July 1, 2026.
