Update: Charmaine Kelly of the Supervisor of Elections office just called me back. The Title of the Charter Amendment is limited to 15 words and the ballot summary language is 75. She did not know about the advertisement if it had to follow any specific amount of words.
What the Florida Statutes say
The Post needs a two day leeway in order to advertise. These are drafts and there might have been some changes before submission. We should see these two items advertised tomorrow.
What the State of Florida says. Check out #4 on number of words. Is PB County different? Is this a different type of ballot question? Is this only for a citizens' initiative? Or does it not matter at this point as long as we get something advertised?
