104.0515 Voting rights; deprivation of, or interference with, prohibited; penalty.--

Self explanatory.
(b) Deny the right of any individual to vote in any election because of an error or omission on any record or paper relating to any application, registration, or other act requisite to voting,
Meaning that a printing mistake does not disqualify an application if…
if such error or omission is not material in determining whether such individual is qualified under law to vote in such election.
By using the other information provided by the voter (name, address, Social Security number, etc..) it can be determined if the person is qualified under law to vote in the election by comparing that information to what is on record. The voter registration number IS NOT necessary to achieve this.
This paragraph shall apply to absentee ballots only if there is a pattern or history of discrimination on the basis of race, color, or previous condition of servitude in regard to absentee ballots.
This line refers to ballots and not applications
(5) Any person who violates the provisions of this section is guilty of a felony of the third degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084.
