Florida residents face a decision on Tuesday, November 3, that will shape state leadership for the next four years. Voters will select candidates for governor, attorney general, and U.S. Senate seats. They will also choose the mayor of Orange County. These choices determine who holds executive power in the state and who represents Florida in the federal legislature.
The ballot includes three state constitutional amendments. Voters must approve or reject these changes to the state constitution. The outcome of these votes will alter the legal framework governing Florida government operations. The specific text of the amendments is available to voters before they cast their ballots.
