A Leon County circuit judge Thursday ruled that the Florida Division of Elections is required to update its website to reflect the number of valid petition signatures for a proposed recreational-marijuana constitutional amendment.
Judge Jonathan Sjostrom backed arguments by the Smart & Safe Florida political committee, which faces a Sunday deadline for submitting enough valid signatures to put the proposed amendment on the November ballot.
The website showed 675,307 valid signatures for about two months.
After the lawsuit was filed, state elections officials updated the totals, with the website Thursday showing 760,002 valid signatures.
Smart & Safe Florida needs to submit at least 880,062 valid signatures statewide and meet signature thresholds in congressional districts.
