Florida is a closed primary state so for many of the public office races, voters must designate which political party they belong to (for partisan races). There are, however, several non-partisan or non-political party races, such as for the school board and county commission, on the ballot. So all registered voters, including those who did not select a party or who selected an independent party, can get a ballot and VOTE.

Now more than ever, it is important for voters to research the candidates, take sample ballots with them (if need be) and fill out the ballot completely (and correctly) so there will be no questions about their intentions for representation in the applicable local, state and national public offices. Also, voters: make sure to take a photo/signature I.D. with you.
