This is Side Two
This page is the arena for this office, this cycle. Unique teaching for the job lives on the office twin.
It is not a campaign. It does not crown a winner. It does not tell you who to vote for.
When
- Election Day: Tuesday, November 3, 2026
- Florida held its primary 18 August 2026. Confirm any leftover dates on the Division of Elections.
This is a regular gubernatorial election. It is not a U.S. Senate race. Florida’s 2026 Senate race is the Class III special.
Who is on the ballot
Do not take names from a news comment or a text thread.
- Official candidate list / sample ballot — dos.fl.gov/elections

- Current Governor of record (not the same thing as the 2026 nominee) — flgov.com
- Registration — registration.elections.myflorida.com
If a site and the official sample ballot disagree, the sample ballot wins.
What you are hiring
You are hiring the Governor of Florida for the whole state — four years, one executive. Read the office page before you read a mailer. This is not a Senate seat and not a mayor.
