A guide for Floridians who put faith, family, and freedom first. Scores prioritize the Christian score, then the Constitution score (liberty & limited government under the U.S. Constitution), then the GOP score. Tap the ⓘ next to each score bar for what counts. Enter your ZIP above to narrow races — then confirm on your county sample ballot. Primary: August 18, 2026.
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.
Recent statewide and Central Florida political changes that shape the August 2026 ballot — redistricting, endorsements, education law, and taxes.
Florida uses a closed primary for party nominations. Always use your county sample ballot — House district lines changed in 2026.
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.
Highest priority · faith & family policy
Second priority · U.S. Constitution & liberty
(formerly labeled “paleo-conservative” — same ideas, clearer name)
Third priority · Republican Party alignment
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
