Special Elections

Summary

The bill changes Florida law so that when an elected office becomes vacant, the governor must, after consulting the Secretary of State and the local supervisor of elections, fix the dates for a special primary and a special election within 14 days. It also creates a court‑backed process if the governor misses the deadline and establishes specific timing windows for those elections. The changes affect voters, candidates, and election officials by tightening the schedule for filling vacancies.
