Here's what Amendment 1 would mean for school board elections in Florida

TAMPA, Fla. - In November, Floridians will vote on an amendment to make school board elections partisan.

Amendment 1 would make school board elections partisan beginning in the November 2026 general election and for primary elections nominating party candidates for the 2026 election.

Candidates would be nominated for the general election through party primaries, and would have a label of "Democrat" or "Republican" next to their name on the ballot.

"Students are not partisan, and certainly, our children are not partisan," Hillsborough County school board member Lynn Gray said.
