June 17 was the deadline for candidates to file for Florida primaries, or for independent candidates to pay their filing fees for the general election, for state and local office. The Secretary of State has posted a candidate list here. The deadline for congress was in May.
The only minor parties with any nominees for federal or state office are Libertarian, Green, and Constitution. The People’s Party has a candidate for county office in Pasco County, and is fighting in federal court to place her on the People’s Party primary ballot. The problem is a law that says no one can file in a primary who has not been a member of that party for a full year. The People’s Party wasn’t ballot-qualified that long ago, and therefore it was impossible for it to have had any members.
Libertarians are running for Governor, U.S. Senator, and two U.S. House races. Greens are running for a State Senate seat and a State House seat. The Constitution Party has a candidate for State House. UPDATE: see this article about the Green Party candidate for State Senate.

Abolish all ballot access censorship laws and return ownership of ballot content to the voter. The Liberty ballot – an all write-in voter verifiable ballot.
Ricardo De La Fuente is running for US Senator. He lists his address as Miami.
His congressional website from 2020 refers to “this year” and “our district”.
@DFR,
How does a voter verify their ballot?
The Green Party candidate running for State Senate in the article you listed in the end is Brian Moore, who has apparently switched races and dropped out of the gubernatorial election.
How much subversion of 14-2 Amdt in FL by NOT having write-ins in primary and general elections
— esp for ***UN-opposed*** candidates ???
14-2 *** denied*** / abridged *** for specified OFFICES.
Candidates may die or be disqualified at any time.
Has De La Fuente decided to run as a Democrat in any other Senatorial race this year?
@WZ,
Ricardo DLF is the son of Roque “Rocky” DLF.
Ballotpedia says he ran in 3 congressional races in 2020.
D. Frank Robinson – If you’ve ever looked at write-in ballots then you would know they are absolutely not verifiable. It’s a nightmare trying to tally those things, with the bad penmanship, scribbles, spelling errors, inappropriate abbreviations, and people simply writing the last name of a candidate even when there are two potential write-in candidates with the same last name.
see 2010 AK Sen M write-in – how many different spellings ???
Originally, all ballots were write-in. Then, parties began printing “slate” ballots with the names of their nominees printed on them. The party supporters would stand outside polling places, and give the pre-printed ballots to the voters who wanted them.
But, during the so-called “Progressive” Era, reformers decided that the state should print the ballots, with the names of the candidates of the qualified parties printed on them, with write-in spaces for any other candidates.
Modern technology now makes it possible for voters to print their own ballots. States should provided formatted, computer-readable ballots with the names of the qualified candidates on them, and write-in spaces in which voters could print in the names of any write-in candidates. Then, the voter could print out a completed ballot, with the names of any write-in candidates neatly printed, and deliver it to the polling place.
Which State was last to have paper ballots ???
Very early on – show of hands for votes [short folks up front] — NO ballots — list of candidates for each office.
Ghost remainder in small pop regimes — picking small pop regime officers ???
Florida is the best state. Make America Florida!
