Elections in Florida |

Government |
The 2018 Florida gubernatorial election will be held on November 6, 2018, alongside a U.S. Senate election, U.S. House elections, and other state and local elections. Incumbent two-term Republican Governor Rick Scott is term-limited. Florida is one of 25 states that elects the Governor and Lieutenant Governor on a joint ticket.
The candidate filing deadline for this gubernatorial race is June 22, 2018, with primary elections being held on August 28, 2018. Florida uses a closed primary process, in which the selection of each party's candidates for a general election is limited to registered members of that party.[1]
Background
A Democratic candidate has not won a gubernatorial election in Florida since 1994 when Governor Lawton Chiles was elected to a second term.
The winner of this election will be involved in the redistricting process following the 2020 Census. Under Florida state law, the state legislature is responsible for drawing boundaries for Congressional and state legislative seats. The governor has the power to veto U.S. House boundaries, but not state legislative ones.
Nearly 100,000 Puerto Ricans, a largely Democratic voter demographic, have moved to Florida after the island was ravaged by Hurricane Maria in September 2017. It is expected that this large influx of potential voters could drastically reshape future elections.[2]
