In Florida’s closed partisan primary elections, you are only eligible to vote in primary contests for the party in which you are registered.

A Universal Primary contest occurs when all candidates for an office have the same party affiliation. These contests appear on every voter’s ballot. Voters in ECUA District 1 (Republican) and ECUA District 3 (Democratic) will have these contests on their ballot regardless of party affiliation.

    Our elections are set up in a way to prevent an opposing party to easily target a political opponent’s weaker candidate and negatively affect elections. This is why our system has worked so well for over two hundred years.

    Closed primaries are an insult to democracy. D’s and R’s are complicit in this mockery of free and fair elections.
