Qualifying Period Approaching

Event

Secretary of State Cord Byrd announces the upcoming qualifying period for U.S. Senator, Representative in Congress, Governor, Attorney General, Chief Financial Officer, Commissioner of Agriculture, State Senator, State Representative, and Multi-County Special Districts from noon, June 13 to noon, June 17. Pursuant to Section 99.061(8) F.S., qualifying papers are permitted to be submitted 14 days prior to the beginning of the qualifying period.

The division will begin accepting qualifying documents on May 30, 2022.  While state offices are closed on Memorial Day, qualifying documents can still be placed in the secure box provided just inside the front lobby doors of the R.A. Gray Building located at 500 South Bronough Street, Tallahassee, Florida 32399 between the hours of 8 AM – 5 PM on May 30. State offices will reopen at 8 AM on May 31, 2022.

“As Florida’s chief elections officer, I want to remind all candidates who are running for the offices listed above to turn in the appropriate paperwork as soon as possible beginning on May 30,” said Secretary Byrd. “This helps our office collect, review and maintain the database in a timely, organized manner.”

The qualifying period and pre-qualifying submission period above also applies to County and District offices. However, the qualifying paperwork must be submitted to the county Supervisor of Elections’ office as the qualifying officer. Please contact your county Supervisor of Elections for more information.

The Division of Elections website will be updated during the week as candidates meet the qualification requirements.
