Below are the types of elections that were scheduled in Florida in 2014:
2014 elections
Races to watch in Florida
U.S. Congress
- 13th Congressional District
- The death of long-time incumbent C.W. Bill Young (R) in late 2013 left the seat open to a partisan switch in an increasingly Democratic district.
- 18th Congressional District
- Freshman Rep. Patrick Murphy won one of the tightest elections of 2012 against Allen West. Despite that victory, Murphy was considered one of the most vulnerable incumbents in 2014.
- 26th Congressional District
- Although Rep. Joe Garcia won a decisive victory in 2012 in the newly drawn 26th district, Garcia was also considered one of the most vulnerable incumbents in 2014.
State Executive Officials
The Florida gubernatorial and lieutenant gubernatorial election was held on November 4, 2014. Incumbent Governor Rick Scott (R) was eligible to run for re-election and began making plans for his campaign as early as May of 2012.[1] The office of lieutenant governor was vacant following the resignation of Scott's 2010 running-mate, Jennifer Carroll. Sources such as Governing, Larry Sabato's Crystal Ball, The Washington Post and Daily Kos consistently rated Scott among the top five most vulnerable gubernatorial incumbents facing re-election in 2014.[2][3][4][5]
The biggest threat to Scott's re-election campaign was the candidacy of former governor and newly minted Democrat Charlie Crist, who launched his long-anticipated campaign on Nov. 4, 2013.[6][7][8] Crist was a Republican until 2010 when he re-registered as an Independent in order to stay in the race after Republican voters chose Marco Rubio over him in the primary, and his latest party makeover had been widely interpreted as a strategic maneuver aimed at helping him unseat Scott in 2014. Crist held onto a lead in all tracked hypothetical match-up polls putting him against Scott.[9] In June 2013, ex-Florida Sen. Democrat Nan Rich entered the race, and was later joined by a slew of other lesser-known hopefuls, mostly from third parties.[10]
Scott and Crist secured their parties' respective primary nominations and faced off in a hotly contested general election battle on November 4, 2014. Scott ultimately came out on top, defeating Crist for another term in the governor's office by a mere 1 percentage point.

Eric Eisnaugle (R) defeated Shaun Raja (D) in the special election, which took place on April 8.[138][139] Raja was unopposed in the March 11 Democratic primary, while Eisnaugle defeated Stephen Vincent Facella in the March 11 Republican primary.[53][140] Eisnaugle, a state representative from 2008-2012, chose not to run for re-election in 2012 when redistricting drew him against fellow Rep. Stephen Precourt (R). With Precourt term-limited in 2014, Eisnaugle planned to run for the seat again. Several Republicans, including Speaker Steve Crisafulli (R), backed Eisnaugle. "Eric’s track record of leadership will allow him to serve his Orange County constituents well. It is obvious that his message of job growth and fiscal responsibility resonated with the voters of his district." Crisafulli said.[141] The seat was vacant following Stephen Precourt's (R) appointment as the head of the Orlando-Orange County Expressway Authority.[142] A special election for the position of Florida House of Representatives District 44 was called for April 8, with a primary if necessary on March 11. The filing deadline for candidates wishing to run in this election was January 23.[143]

Important voting information
- A primary election is an election in which registered voters select a candidate that they believe should be a political party's candidate for elected office to run in the general election. They are also used to choose convention delegates and party leaders. Primaries are state-level and local-level elections that take place prior to a general election. Florida utilizes a closed primary process, in which the selection of a party's candidates in an election is limited to registered party members.[145][146]
For information about which offices are nominated via primary election, see this article.
- On May 15, 2015, Governor Rick Scott (R) signed into law SB 228, which authorized the creation of an online voter registration system in Florida. The legislation was passed by significant majorities in both chambers of the Florida State Legislature: 109-9 in the Florida House of Representatives and 37-3 in the Florida State Senate. The enacted legislation requires the voter registration system to be up and running by October 2017.[147][148]
