Florida is a closed-primary state, meaning only voters registered with a political party may vote in that party’s primary contests.
All registered voters, regardless of party affiliation, may vote in nonpartisan races, including judicial and school board contests, as well as universal primary contests, according to a news release from the Pinellas County Supervisor of Elections, Julie Marcus.
Voters may also visit their assigned polling place on Election Day, Tuesday, Aug. 18 to cast a ballot. The deadline to request a vote-by-mail ballot was Aug. 6.
