Add your U.S. House race
Your U.S. House race isn’t in the list above, because it depends on where you live. Give us your address and we’ll add it. We have House races for Miami-Dade, Broward, Hillsborough and Orange counties so far, and we keep only the district, never your address.
What this guide covers
- Every Florida voter
- 5 statewide races (4 with a full brief so far) and 3 amendments, the same for everyone, wherever you live and whatever your party.
- Miami-Dade, Broward, Hillsborough and Orange counties
- The U.S. House races, and the county commission, school board, Orange County mayor and Orange County clerk races. Add your address above for your House race. Your county’s sample ballot says which commission and school board seats are yours.
- Not covered
- Florida House and Florida Senate seats, judges (retention questions and other judicial races), county and city ballot questions, city races, special districts such as soil and water conservation and community development districts, and local races in other counties. Your county Supervisor of Elections has your official sample ballot. What we don’t cover
