Term limits

See also State legislatures with term limits and Impact of term limits on state representative elections in 2012

The Florida House of Representatives has been a term-limited state house since Florida voters approved Amendment 9 in 1992. Amendment 9 altered Article VI, section 4 of the Florida Constitution to impose a maximum of four 2-year terms on Florida State Representatives.

There are 120 representatives in the Florida House of Representatives. 12 of them, or 10%, were termed-out in 2012. Of these 12, 2 were Democratic and 10 were Republican.

In addition to the 12 Florida state representatives who left office because of term limits, 10 Florida state senators were also termed-out.

Florida state representatives whose seats were up for election in 2012 but who were unable to run because of the state's term limits were:

Democrats (2):

Republicans (10):

Impact of redistricting

See also: Redistricting in Florida

The Florida Supreme Court approved a new House map on March 9, 2012. An analysis by the Florida Chamber of Commerce said redistricting impacts could have ranged from a gain of one House seat by Republicans, for a total of 82 Republican members, to a gain of 5 seats for Democrats, meaning 44 Democratic members.[4]
