florida primaries


I just voted. How about you? Florida has closed primaries, meaning you can only vote for candidates within your registered party. I used to be an Independent, but since I couldn't vote in primaries, I switched affiliation to Democrat in 2000. Even if you are a Florida Independent voter, today's election is important to determine the fate of Constitutional Amendment 1, which would decrease home owner's taxes and all the services that they pay for. My community also happens to be voting in 3 new city commissioners so I expect voter turnout to be higher than in the rest of the state. We'll see. You have until 7 p.m. to cast a ballot. Make sure you do!
