FLORIDA IS A CLOSED PRIMARY STATE

Florida is a closed Primary State, which means that in a Primary Election, voters may only vote for candidates of the political party in which they are registered. If all candidates for an office have the same party affiliation and the winner will have no opposition in the General

Election, all voters may vote. This is called a Universal Primary. All registered voters may vote in non-partisan elections, on issues and for any candidate in the General Election.

For additional information, contact the Supervisor of Elections Office at 352-374-5252.
