Election season is upon us and the candidates are officially out of the gate since last Friday, when the qualifying deadline for the August 20th primary election occured.
Per The Miami Herald article from yesterday, be informed that “Florida is a “closed” primary state. That means that registered Democrats can only vote for candidates in the Democratic races, and registered Republicans will only vote for Republican candidates running for office.
Voters with no party affiliation cannot vote for partisan candidates, except when all the candidates running for a position are from the same party and the winner of the primary election won’t face opposition in the general election.
All voters, regardless of their party affiliation, will be able to cast their ballots in nonpartisan races. Those include circuit judges, school board members, county commissioners, county community council members and more.”
Here is a full list of the candidates that residents of North Miami Beach will see on the ballot at the federal, state and local level.
At WakeUp NMB, we encourage you to do your homework and make your vote counts on Tuesday, August 20th.
