Today is voting day! Usually an exciting time, today may prove a bit confusing, as many polling locations close or relocate to combat the spread and protect some of the state's most vulnerable populations from COVID-19. Across the state, Supervisor of Elections offices are scrambling to provide voters with accurate polling location information. Below are a few resources to help you verify your polling location and get in and out with ease.
About Florida's Primary
Remember, Florida is a closed primary election state.
A closed primary allows only those voters registered with major political parties to vote for their respective party's candidates. Simply put, in order to be eligible to vote in Florida's primary, you must be registered with a majority party (i.e., Republican or Democrat). So, if you are registered as a Republican, you must vote for a Republican candidate, similarily, if you are registered as a Democrat, you must vote for a Democratic candidate.
