To qualify for the general election, primary write-in candidates for parties with continued statewide representation had to receive enough votes to meet or exceed the number of nominating petition signatures required to file for the primary.[1] In the 2025 special election, the Democratic, Libertarian, and Republican parties were subject to this rule.[2] Libertarian write-in candidate Andy Fernandez Jr. did not meet the required 376 minimum write-in votes, so he did not advance to the general election.[3]
Primary write-in candidates for recognized parties that did not have continued statewide representation did not need to meet a minimum vote count.[1] Eduardo Quintana (G) and Richard Grayson (No Labels Party) advanced to the general election after receiving the most write-in votes in their primaries.
