A proposed constitutional amendment requiring partisan elections for school board members on or after November 2026 is on this year's ballot. The measure would also apply to the primaries for the 2026 general election.
Public school boards have been nonpartisan in Florida for more than 20 years. However, a proposed constitutional amendment on the 2024 ballot could change that.
The amendment was approved by the state Senate in April 2023. If passed by voters in this year’s general election, it would require partisan elections for school board members on or after November 2026. It would also apply to the primaries for the 2026 general election.
