Welcome to

A date has yet to be set for Florida’s Presidential Preference Primary, but a decision in Arizona is shedding light on when Florida might hold it’s primary.

Iowa is holding its caucus January 3rd, New Hampshire January 8th, Nevada, January 19th and South Carolina on January 26. Arizona has now scheduled their vote for February 28th, so Florida House Speaker Dean Cannon wants Floridians to vote after the South Carolina primary and before the Arizona vote in late February. If Florida’s date is indeed set for February, Florida democratic Party Executive Director Scott Arceneaux says Democrats will hold caucus and convention votes and ignore the primary election.

“Our plan has already been approved by the Democratic National Committee”, says Arceneaux.  “If the Republicans choose to go outside the window, which would be in violation of their rules and frankly our rules, we’re going to be ignoring the Presidential Primary. We’re just going to treat it as a beauty contest.”

Here is a list of dates approved by the national parties. If Florida goes before March 6th, it stands to have only half of its delegates counted at the national conventions.

• January 3—Iowa caucus
• January 5—Wyoming caucus (Republican only)

• January 8—New Hampshire primary

January 19—Nevada Caucus & Republican South Carolina primary

• January 26—Democratic South Carolina primary
