The Florida Fair & Open Primaries organization is sponsoring a statewide initiative that would eliminate funding for the election administration of primaries, if that primary was closed to independent voters. See the text here.
The initiative would have been more feasible if it permitted parties to nominate by convention. If the initiative passed, parties would still be compelled to nominate by primary, yet they would be forced to pay for the primary. Under an Eighth Circuit opinion from Arkansas won by the Republican Party, it is unconstitutional to force a party to nominate by primary, if the government isn’t paying for it.
NO primaries.

The Florida Constitution does not require primaries – unless Article VI Section 5(b) is interpreted that way.
Under the proposed amendment, Florida could adopt Top 2 by statute, since Top 2 primaries are inherently open to all voters.
Does this have anything to do with Top Two Primary.
@Andy,
Top 2 would be one way of complying with the proposed constitution initiative.
As Richard Winger has pointed out, there are constitutional issues with the solution that supporters of the initiative apparently support.
Top 2 primary = lots of NON-Votes in general elections.
If NO write-ins in general elections (as in CA), then blatant 14-2 violation.
How much voters remorse so far in CA about having the top 2 primary scheme ???

years and gain value inturn in terms of revenues – In hospitals this technology will probably be
useful mainly because it can provide a fantastic variety of
programming to patients specially those patients who will be
restricted to their beds and possess hardly any ogher
activity to do. Therefoe it makes entry to television in areas which has been previously unheard of.
