Floridaโs proposed Amendment 3, which aims to establish an open primary system for state offices, has failed. Amendment 3 aims to establish an open primary system for state offices, including the governor, legislators and cabinet members. If Amendment 3 is approved, Florida would join 21 other states that conduct open primaries for congressional and state offices. All Voters Vote, a political committee is leading the campaign for the amendment. Our position is to support an Open Primary system that would allow for the broadest possible voter participation.
