During a Primary Election, you will receive a ballot listing the candidates corresponding to the political party reflected on your Voter Information Card. (This includes the Presidential Preference Primary).   All voters can vote in nonpartisan races such as judicial, school board, municipal and referenda. The deadline to change your political party is 29 days before each election (Florida Statutes 97.055).
