Post-filing deadline analysis
The following analysis covers all state legislative districts up for election in Florida in 2024. Information below was calculated on June 26, 2024, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.
Florida had 46 contested state legislative primaries in 2024, a decrease of 43% from the preceding cycle.
Nineteen of these primaries were for Democrats, down 39% from 31 in 2022. Republicans had 27 primaries, a 45% decrease from 49 in 2022.
Thirteen incumbents faced primary challenges, the fewest since tracking began in 2010 and representing 12% of all incumbents running for re-election. The average number of contested incumbents each election cycle from 2010 to 2022 was 22.
Of the 13 incumbents in contested primaries, eight were Democrats and five were Republicans.
In total, 336 major party candidates—172 Democrats and 164 Republicans—filed to run. All 120 House seats and 20 of 40 Senate seats were up for election. Thirty-one of those seats were open, meaning no incumbents filed. This was the fewest since 2014, when 18 seats were open.

Footnotes
- ↑ Ballotpedia defines an incumbent as retiring if the incumbent did not file for office or filed for office but withdrew, was disqualified, or otherwise left a race in a manner other than losing the primary, primary runoff, or convention. If an incumbent runs as a write-in candidate, Ballotpedia does not consider them to be retiring. If an incumbent runs in the same chamber for a different seat, Ballotpedia does not consider them to be retiring.

If the incumbent withdrew from or did not participate in the primary but later chose to seek re-election to his or her seat as a third party or independent candidate, the seat would not be counted as open. If the incumbent retired or ran for a different seat in the same chamber, his or her original seat would be counted as open unless another incumbent from the same chamber filed to run for that seat, in which case it would not be counted as open due to the presence of an incumbent.
