What Is the Presidential Preference Primary?
The Presidential Preference Primary (PPP) is part of how political parties select presidential candidates.
In the PPP, voters registered with either the Democratic or Republican parties vote for the presidential candidate they want to represent their party in the General Election.
Who Is on my PPP Ballot?
There is only one contest on the PPP ballot - which presidential candidate you want to represent your party in the General Election.
The candidates that will appear on the ballot are designated by the Florida Democratic Party and the Republican Party of Florida. These names will be set in December of 2023.

If you are registered with a minor party or no party, there is nothing for you to vote on in the PPP.
