Partisan Primaries in Florida – BPR Interviews: Steve Hough
January 28, 2021
Steve Hough is the
director of Florida Fair and Open Primaries, an organization that, alongside Open Primaries and All Voters Vote, supported Florida’s 2020 Ballot Amendment 3. Amendment 3 would have implemented a top-two jungle primary system in Florida, allowing all registered voters to vote in a nonpartisan primary where the top-two vote-getting candidates, regardless of party, would advance to the general election. Under the current system in Florida only registered party members can vote in primaries. While the amendment garnered the support of 57% of voters, it ultimately didn’t meet the 60% threshold required for it to be adopted.
