In the way of higher-than-usual turnout for November's election, advocates say even more people would have turned out if registering to vote were easier.
Voting is an essential American right, but to exercise it, Americans have to sign up. The process takes a couple of minutes, but in Florida, hundreds of thousands of people haven't registered.
That would change under a new Democratic bill, which says anyone who is eligible to vote and has a driver's license would be automatically registered.
That's something Florida State sophomore Ellen Pribil wishes she had when she turned 18.
"It takes away the hassle of going to do all that," she said. "And once you're 18, it's legal anyway."
When it comes to registering to vote, young Americans like Pribil tend to not turn out in very big numbers, which is why making registration automatic could have tremendous implications at the polls.
In 2008 and again in 2012, voters under 30 overwhelmingly selected President Barack Obama. Add more young voters with automatic registration, and Democrats could benefit most.
But freshman Chris Perron doesn't care about the politics of it. He said he worries what might happen if voting becomes too easy.
"It kind of condones laziness and it's like you don't really understand what's going on," he said. "You're not really getting as involved, and it gives you an opportunity to make a less informed decision than you should."
The Capitol's majority Republicans couldn't agree more with Perron's point.
"I don't think they care enough and pay enough attention to the process that I, frankly, want them showing up to vote," Rep. Matt Caldwell, R-Fort Myers, said.
By law, the deadline to register to vote in Florida is one month before a general election. Voting rights advocates say that's a long time before most people start thinking about the ballot, and by the time they do, many of them have forgotten to register.
