Closed Primary Election
Florida is a closed primary election state. Only voters who are registered with a political
party may vote for respective party candidates or nominees for an office in a primary election,
including a presidential preference primary election.
However, there are times when all registered voters can vote in a primary election, regardless
of which major or minor political party they are registered or even if they are registered without
party affiliation:
•
If all the candidates for an office have the same party affiliation and the winner of the
primary election will not face any opposition in the general election, then all registered
voters can vote for any of the candidates for that office in the primary election.
• If races for nonpartisan judicial and school board offices, nonpartisan special districts or
local referendum questions are on the primary election ballot, then all registered voters,
including those without party affiliation are entitled to vote those races on the ballot.
At a general election, all voters receive the same ballot and may vote for any candidate or
question on the ballot regardless of party affiliation.
