Disenfranchised voters [View all]
About 3.5 million Floridians were disenfranchised this past election – and we’re not talking about convicted felons.
They are “No Party Affiliation” voters – people who don’t want to register as Democrat or Republican. They are Florida’s fastest growing political group – more than a quarter of the state’s registered voters.
Florida law locks them out of primary elections, including the races for key leadership roles (governor, U.S. Senate) this past August.
Because the state employs a “closed primary” system, independent and No Party Affiliation (NPA) voters are banned from participating.
