Voting

ATTENTION VOTERS:

Last year, Gov. DeSantis signed into law Senate Bill 90, which includes a requirement that Floridians who vote-by-mail must request a mail ballot every general election cycle. This means that your request for a vote-by-mail ballot in 2022 has expired. You have to make another request for vote-by-mail ballots for elections in 2023-2024.


Party Affiliation

Florida is a closed primary state. In partisan office contests in a primary election, a voter may only vote for the candidates of the party in which he or she is registered. That is why different ballot styles exist in a primary election. The voter’s ballot style is tied to his or her party affiliation.

Voters registered with no party affiliation (NPA) are not eligible to vote for partisan candidates in a primary election unless a Universal Primary Contest (UPC) occurs.

All registered voters regardless of party affiliation are entitled to vote on non-partisan candidates and issues.

In a General Election, all registered voters receive the same ballot regardless of their party affiliation and are eligible to vote for any candidate.
