In Florida, voters who wish to vote in a partisan primary election must be a registered voter in the party for which the primary is held.
“Under Florida law, only voters registered with the Republican party are eligible to vote in the March 19th Republican Presidential Preference Primary Election,” explained Supervisor of Elections Lori Edwards.
The Presidential Preference Primary election is the opportunity for voters to choose their party’s nominee to run in the presidential election in November.
The deadline to change party affiliation is February 20th. There are several ways voters can verify their party affiliation before this important deadline; they can review their most current voter information card, visit PolkElections.gov and click on “Voter Lookup”, or call the Elections Office at (863) 534-5888 for assistance.
