Heading into the election the incumbent was Republican Michael Waltz, who was first elected in 2018.
As of the 2010 redistricting cycle, Florida's 6th Congressional District was located in northeastern Florida and included St. Johns and Flagler counties and portions of Putnam and Volusia counties.[1] The 6th District stretched from the Canaveral National Seashore through Daytona Beach up north past St. Augustine.[2]
Ballotpedia provided comprehensive coverage of how election dates and procedures changed in 2020. While the majority of changes occurred as a result of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, some changes occurred for other reasons.
Florida modified its voter registration procedures for the November 3, 2020, general election as follows:
- Voter registration: The voter registration deadline was extended to October 6, 2020.[3]
