Deadline Looms For August 30 Primary

Florida’s chief elections officer is reminding voters they have until Monday, Aug.1st, to register for the Aug. 30 primary.

Secretary of State Ken Detzner says now is a good time for voters to check their registration status. Florida is a closed primary state, which means only registered Democrats or Republicans can vote in those primaries.

However, non-partisan races will be open to all voters.  And the same goes for a solar power  ballot initiative sponsored by the Legislature.

A Miami native, former WFSU reporter Jim Ash is an award-winning journalist with more than 20 years of experience, most of it in print. He has been a member of the Florida Capital Press Corps since 1992.
