Of Counsel
Please allow this correspondence to serve as a response to your memorandum
dated July 22, 2002, regarding the City of Winter Springs election procedures. We have
reviewed the ordinances and resolutions you provided, the City Code and Charter, as well
as, the relevant sections of the Florida Statutes and Administrative Code relating to
elections.
We are of the opinion the City is in compliance with the requirements of Section
8.03 of the City Charter. We were unable to find any requirements of municipalities in the
election code which were not met by either the City Charter or Code.

Further, we were unable to find any authority, requiring the City to adopt absentee
voting procedures. We did note, however, that the City Code currently provides absentee
voting in s. 2-92.
If you have any questions regarding this matter please do not hesitate to call our
offices.
Very truly yours,
XJr Buak
Assistant City Attorney
