Florida Ballot Filing Extended Due to Secretary of State’s Office Closing September 1-2

Tallahassee, Florida government offices are closed September 1-2, due to a hurricane. The deadline for parties to qualify and also to certify their presidential elector candidates had been September 1. The Governor has proclaimed that deadlines of various sorts will be tolled, so this year it appears the true deadline is Tuesday, September 6, because Monday, September 5, is Labor Day.

Thus it probably won’t be possible to know which presidential candidates will be on the Florida ballot until next week. The Evan McMullin candidacy in Florida is dependent on whether he qualified a new party in Florida, or possibly whether the Independent Party or the Independence Party (which are already on the ballot) might possible have nominated him.
