Florida will now be able to crosscheck voter register data with 29 other states that already use ERIC to identify duplicate registrations and outdated records from voters who have moved or died.

"We are confident that by improving the accuracy of our voter rolls, we will reduce the potential for voter fraud," DeSantis said.

The new system is expected to be in place for the 2020 elections.
