Republican Party primary elections were held in Florida on August 28, 2018, to select the party's candidates for Florida's 2018 elections. The primaries included elections for the U.S. Senate, all 27 of the state's seats in the U.S. House of Representatives, governor and lieutenant governor, attorney general, and state legislative seats.
U.S. Rep. Ron DeSantis (R) won the party's gubernatorial primary, defeating state agriculture commissioner Adam Putnam and six other candidates. DeSantis was endorsed by President Donald Trump (R), while Putnam was backed by state House Speaker Richard Corcoran (R) and the Florida Chamber of Commerce.
Term-limited Gov. Rick Scott (R) entered the U.S. Senate race on April 9, 2018, and was selected as the nominee to take on three-term incumbent Sen. Bill Nelson (D). Scott told donors he would need $110 million to run an effective campaign against Nelson. Scott had the backing of President Trump, who urged him to run for the seat in September 2017.[3]
In the primary for state attorney general, former circuit court judge Ashley B. Moody defeated State Rep. Frank White to become the party's nominee to succeed term-limited incumbent Pam Bondi (R). Businessman Michael Waltz defeated businessman John Ward and former state Rep. Fred Costello in the three-way primary to replace DeSantis in Florida's 6th Congressional District. And state Senator Greg Steube won the nomination to succeed Tom Rooney (R) in Florida's 17th Congressional District.
National background
Primary elections—in which registered voters select a candidate whom they believe should run on the party's ticket in the general election—can reflect internal conflict over the direction of a party.
Heading into the 2018 election, the Republican Party's legislative record during Donald Trump’s presidency figured into several Republican primaries. This record included the passage of major tax legislation in December 2017 and the confirmation of federal judges. It also included a $1.3 trillion omnibus spending bill in March 2018, which Trump opposed, and unsuccessful efforts to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act.[4][5]
Trump, himself, also played a role in Republican primaries. His approval rating reached 90% in June among self-described Republicans, according to a Gallup survey.[6] Many Republican candidates campaigned on their support for Trump, and negative ads accusing opponents of criticizing the president were common.[7][8][9] A May report found Trump's name or image had appeared in 37% of all Republican campaign ads at that point in 2018.[10]
This page focuses on the Republican primaries that took place in Florida on August 28, 2018. In addition, the page provides context for understanding the state party apparatus. The filing deadline for candidates seeking to participate in these primaries was May 4, 2018.

Voter information
How the primary works
A primary election is an election in which registered voters select a candidate that they believe should be a political party's candidate for elected office to run in the general election. They are also used to choose convention delegates and party leaders. Primaries are state-level and local-level elections that take place prior to a general election. Florida utilizes a closed primary process, in which the selection of a party's candidates in an election is limited to registered party members.[21][22]
For information about which offices are nominated via primary election, see this article.
Poll times
In Florida, all polls are open from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. local time. Florida is divided between the Eastern and Central time zones. An individual who is in line at the time polls close must be allowed to vote.[23]
Registration requirements

To vote in Florida, one must be at least 18 years of age, a citizen of the United States, and a legal resident of Florida and the county in which he or she intends to vote. Pre-registration is available beginning at 16 years of age.[24][25]

Online registration
- See also: Online voter registration
Florida has implemented an online voter registration system. Residents can register to vote by visiting this website.
Voters may also apply for or modify their voter registration status while renewing their driver's license through the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles’ online renewal system here.
Same-day registration
Florida does not allow same-day voter registration.
Residency requirements
To register to vote in Florida, you must be a resident of the state. State law does not specify a length of time for which you must have been a resident to be eligible.
Verification of citizenship
Florida does not require proof of citizenship for voter registration. An individual must attest that they are a U.S. citizen when registering to vote. According to the state's voter registration application, "it is a 3rd degree felony to submit false information." [26]
All 49 states with voter registration systems require applicants to declare that they are U.S. citizens in order to register to vote in state and federal elections, under penalty of perjury or other punishment.[27] Seven states — Alabama, Arizona, Georgia, Kansas, Louisiana, New Hampshire, and Wyoming — have laws requiring verification of citizenship at the time of voter registration, whether in effect or not. In three states — California, Maryland, and Vermont — at least one local jurisdiction allows noncitizens to vote in some local elections. Noncitizens registering to vote in those elections must complete a voter registration application provided by the local jurisdiction and are not eligible to register as state or federal voters.
Verifying your registration
The page Voter Information Lookup, run by the Florida Department of State, allows residents to check their voter registration status online.
Voter ID requirements
Florida requires voters to present photo identification with a signature while voting.[28][29]
The following list of accepted ID was current as of July 2024. Click here for the Florida Secretary of State's page on accepted ID to ensure you have the most current information.
- Florida driver’s license
- Florida identification card issued by the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles
- United States passport
- Debit or credit card

- License to carry a concealed weapon or firearm issued pursuant to s. 790.06
- Employee identification card issued by any branch, department, agency, or entity of the federal government, the state, a county, or a municipality
A voter who presents an ID without a signature must show a second form of identification that includes the voter’s signature.
Early voting
Florida permits early voting. Learn more by visiting this website.
Early voting permits citizens to cast ballots in person at a polling place prior to an election. In states that permit no-excuse early voting, a voter does not have to provide an excuse for being unable to vote on Election Day. States that allow voters to cast no-excuse absentee/mail-in ballots in person are counted as no-excuse early voting states.
Forty-seven states and the District of Columbia permit no-excuse early voting.
Absentee voting
All voters are eligible to vote by mail in Florida. There are no special eligibility requirements for voting by mail.[30]
To vote by mail, an application must be received by 5:00 p.m. on the 12th day before the election. Election officials must mail the ballot out within 2 business days after a request, but no later than the 10th day before election day.[30]
A returned ballot must then be received by election officials by 7:00 p.m. on Election Day.[30]

According to the U.S. Department of Justice, the application "may require only the minimum amount of information necessary to prevent duplicate voter registrations and permit State officials both to determine the eligibility of the applicant to vote and to administer the voting process."
