The Presidential Preference Primary Election (PPP) is an election held on behalf of themajor political parties in the early part of a presidential election year.
Florida’s PPP is a closed-primary election. This means that only voters registered with that party can vote for their preferred party nominee for President and Vice-President. See section 103.101, Florida Statutes
A major political party may nominate one or more presidential candidate nominees. If only one nominee is provided, that nominee becomes the party’s preferred presidential candidate. No PPP election is held for that party.
After the PPP, designated political party delegates from Florida meet at their respective party’s national conventions to formally nominate the preferred party nominee based on party rules. These national conventions are typically held in July or August. The party then submits to the State the names of the presidential candidate who will represent the party on the General Election ballot in November.
