Prepping for 2024 Elections

Published in Blog on October 06, 2024 by Cynthia Kisby

This may be a good year to pay close attention to our election process, especially if you are, or know, one of 3.5 million Florida voters who have no party affiliation.

Follow these official Florida Division of Elections links to read the details.

Florida Division of Elections

Florida is a closed primary election state. That means voters have to be registered with a party in order to vote in a primary. 

“However, there are times when all registered voters can vote in a primary election, regardless of which major or minor political party they are registered or even if they are registered without a specific party affiliation:”

1 – all candidates for an office have the same party affiliation

2 – nonpartisan races such as for judges and school board members

Don't miss an opportunity to weigh in on your local school board candidates.

2024 Election Dates

This is different from the Presidential Preference Primary which was held on March 19, 2024.

Sign the petition to call for an Article V convention!

Petition your state legislator

Almost everyone knows that our federal government is on a dangerous course. The unsustainable debt combined with crushing regulations on states and businesses is a recipe for disaster.

What is less known is that the Founders gave state legislatures the power to act as a final check on abuses of power by Washington, DC. Article V of the U.S. Constitution authorizes the state legislatures to call a convention to proposing needed amendments to the Constitution. This process does not require the consent of the federal government in Washington DC.

I support Convention of States; a national movement to call a convention under Article V of the United States Constitution, restricted to proposing amendments that will impose fiscal restraints on the federal government, limit its power and jurisdiction, and impose term limits on its officials and members of Congress.

I want our state to be one of the necessary 34 states to pass a resolution calling for this kind of an Article V convention. You can find a copy of the model resolution and the Article V Pocket Guide (which explains the process and answers many questions) here: https://conventionofstates.com/handbook_pdf

I ask that you support Convention of States and consider becoming a co-sponsor. Please respond to my request by informing the national COS team of your position, or sending them any questions you may have:

info@conventionofstates.com or (540) 441-7227.

Thank you so much for your service to the people of our district.

Respectfully, [Your Name]
