Understanding Florida's Primary Election System
Closed Primary Elections
Florida operates a closed primary system, meaning that only registered party members can participate in their party's primary election.
Primary Election Winner
The winner of a primary election is the candidate who receives the most votes within their respective political party.
Overseas Voters
Overseas voters must postmark or date their ballot by Election Day and ensure it is received within 10 days of the election to be counted.
Presidential Preference Primary
Florida's Presidential Preference Primary (PPP) is a component of the nominating process for presidential candidates.
