Ballot measures

Only three statewide amendments are certified for Florida’s 2026 ballot (as of August 2026). This tab also tracks major proposals that did not qualify and local primary-ballot context for each county. Most amendments hit the November general — the August primary is mainly nominations. Always confirm with your SOE sample ballot.

Policy & political change tracker

Recent statewide and Central Florida political changes that shape the August 2026 ballot — redistricting, endorsements, education law, and taxes.

How to vote

Florida uses a closed primary for party nominations. Always use your county sample ballot — House district lines changed in 2026.

Official results, ballot styles, and precinct info come only from your Supervisor of Elections and the Florida Division of Elections — not this guide.

How scoring works

Transparent priorities. Higher weight means more influence on the 0–100 values score. Callouts for Trump and Musk are badges, not extra points — so you can filter them without double-counting party loyalty.

Christian score 45 pts

Highest priority · faith & family policy

  • Explicit public faith in Jesus Christ (weighted heaviest)
  • Campaign/public life that centers Christ, Scripture & church
  • Pro-life / protection of the unborn
  • Religious liberty & conscience rights
  • Parental rights in education
  • Traditional marriage & family policy
  • Opposition to gender ideology in schools/sports
  • Legislative votes help — but outspoken Christian identity beats quiet institutional conservatism

Constitution score 35 pts

Second priority · U.S. Constitution & liberty
(formerly labeled “paleo-conservative” — same ideas, clearer name)

  • Limited federal government & local control
  • Secure borders / immigration enforcement
  • Skepticism of endless foreign wars
  • Free enterprise; caution on globalist trade deals
  • Reading the Constitution as written
  • Protecting American culture & institutions from radical ideology
  • Fiscal restraint / low taxes
  • Health freedom / MAHA — live free of coercive government health & food policy; your family chooses

GOP score 20 pts

Third priority · Republican Party alignment

  • Republican Party registration / nomination
  • GOP platform & party organization alignment
  • Conservative legislative voting record
  • Support from mainstream Republican institutions

🦅 Trump callout

Shown when a candidate has a formal Trump endorsement, explicit MAGA / Trump-agenda campaigning, or a clear Trump-world alliance. Use the filter chip to show only these candidates. Does not add score points on its own.

🍊 DeSantis callout

Shown for candidates who preserve or advance Governor Ron DeSantis’s Florida agenda (parental rights, anti-DEI, free speech, free-state legislation) or who served as DeSantis-era partners (Lt. Gov, Speaker, AG, SoS). Badge only — does not add to the 100-point total. Can overlap with Trump and/or Musk callouts.

🚀 Musk callout

Shown when a candidate is positive toward Elon Musk and/or his companies (Tesla, SpaceX, X free-speech ethos, DOGE-style efficiency, Florida commercial space). Trump-aligned alone is not enough (they have publicly clashed). Badge only — no automatic score points. Filter with the Musk-aligned chip on Candidates.

🥗 MAHA callout

Make America Healthy Again — clear MAHA Institute / MAHA Commission leadership, Stand for Health Freedom–style medical freedom, or campaign food-system integrity (farm loopholes, healthy food, chemical-ag skepticism). Not automatic for every conventional farmer. Counts twice: 🥗 badge for filtering and raises the Constitution score (liberty from coercive health/food policy). Filter with the MAHA chip on Candidates.

Important: This guide is editorial and values-based — not neutral journalism and not an official election authority. Scores use public records, Ballotpedia, campaign statements, and voting history where available. Candidates marked “Limited data” need more research before you vote. Always verify with your sample ballot and county Supervisor of Elections.

How current is this guide?

Candidate lists, scores, and notes are reviewed against public sources (Ballotpedia, campaign materials, county Supervisors of Elections, and news reporting). Last content review: August 2026. Ballots can change — always confirm with your official sample ballot before voting.

ZIP codes & sample ballots

ZIP lookup only estimates county and possible U.S. House districts. School board and county commission seats are by district inside the county — ZIP alone cannot pick the correct one. Official ballots are by precinct / full address. Use your Supervisor of Elections “sample ballot” tool for certainty: Orange · Osceola · Polk · All 67 county SOEs.
