The August 20th Primary Election ballot will feature several Universal Primary races, according to Supervisor of Elections Lori Edwards. All voters, regardless of party affiliation, will have the opportunity to vote in the Republican primary contests for Public Defender, Property Appraiser, and County Commission District 5.
According to Florida law, if all candidates for an office have the same party affiliation, and the winner of the Primary Election will not face opposition in the General Election, all registered voters are eligible to vote in that race. No Democratic, Independent, or write-in candidates are qualified to run in the contests listed above.
The candidate who wins the August 20th Primary Election will be elected to the offices of Public Defender, Property Appraiser, and County Commission District 5.
