GET INVOLVED & MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE 2024 GENERAL ELECTION
In order to Vote on Tuesday November 5th, 2024 in the General Election You Must be Registered to Vote by October 7th.
Our September 19th Meeting will focus on the 2024 Florida Constitutional Amendments
With the state Supreme Court signing off on ballot initiatives about abortion rights and recreational use of marijuana, Floridians in November will vote on six proposed constitutional amendments. Passage of each proposal would require support from at least 60 percent of voters.
Here are brief descriptions of the six issues:
ABORTION: In what could be 2024’s biggest political issue in Florida, voters will decide whether to enshrine abortion rights in the state Constitution. The vote will come after Gov. Ron DeSantis and lawmakers approved preventing abortions after six weeks of pregnancy. The proposed constitutional amendment, in part, says: “No law shall prohibit, penalize, delay, or restrict abortion before viability or when necessary to protect the patient's health, as determined by the patient's healthcare provider.”
CAMPAIGN MONEY: Lawmakers approved placing a measure on the ballot to again try to repeal a program that offers state matching funds to gubernatorial and state Cabinet candidates. Voters approved the matching-funds program in 1998, and a repeal attempt failed in 2010. When the program was created, supporters said it could help reduce the influence of big-money contributors in statewide elections, but critics have long derided the program as welfare for politicians.
FISHING AND HUNTING: Fishing and hunting have been traditions for generations of Floridians. Voters in November will decide whether to enshrine a right to fish and hunt in the state Constitution. With the backing of outdoors groups, lawmakers voted almost unanimously last year to place the measure on the ballot. In part, the proposal says hunting and fishing “shall be preserved forever as a public right and preferred means of responsibly managing and controlling fish and wildlife.”
MARIJUANA: Eight years after voters approved a constitutional amendment that broadly allowed medical marijuana, they will decide this year whether to give the go-ahead to recreational use of marijuana. The political committee Safe & Smart Florida, backed heavily by the Trulieve medical-marijuana company, led the drive to put the measure on the ballot. It would allow people ages 21 and older to “possess, purchase, or use marijuana products and marijuana accessories for non-medical personal consumption.”
PROPERTY TAXES: Homeowners could receive slightly larger property-tax breaks if voters approve a constitutional amendment that the Legislature put on the ballot. The proposal would lead to adjusting part of the homestead property-tax exemption for inflation. Homeowners receive tax exemptions on the assessed values of their property up to $25,000 and on the values between $50,000 and $75,000. The proposal would require adjusting for inflation the exempt portion currently between $50,000 and $75,000.
SCHOOL BOARD ELECTIONS: With supporters seeking to do away with a requirement that candidates run without party labels, voters will decide whether to hold partisan school-board elections. Florida historically had partisan school-board elections, but voters passed a constitutional amendment in 1998 to make the races non-partisan. Lawmakers, however, placed a measure on this year’s ballot that would return to partisan races starting in 2026. School board races in some areas have become battleground in recent years.
On November 6, 2018, voters in the State of Florida adopted Amendment 10 to the State Constitution.
As a result of Amendment 10, effective January 7, 2025, there will be a total of five constitutional offices operating in our County, all of which will be run independently from Miami-Dade County government.
In November 2024, voters in Miami-Dade will have the opportunity to elect the five officials who will lead these constitutional offices:
These 5 offices have been appointed for over 60 years and reported directly to the Mayor of Miami-Dade County.
After the November 2024 election they will be accountable to the voters.
This will be the first countywide election after reprecincting. Eligible voters are encouraged to check their polling place before going to vote.
The Republican Party of Miami is kicking off its General Election efforts ahead of the November Election! Together, we will deliver a BIG WIN for our GOP Nominees!

To beat Kamala Harris and the Democrats in 2024, we must ensure that Republicans bank as many votes as possible before Election Day.
Because of the efforts to Protect Your Vote in 2022, grassroots Republicans like you should feel comfortable Banking Your Vote in 2024.
The Bank Your Vote initiative encourages GOP voters (like YOU!) to get your vote in and make absolutely sure that your voice is heard in the critical 2024 elections.
