2018 Florida Midterm Election Results BIPC.com BIR’s Government Relations Team has compiled the Midterm Election Results from yesterday historic turnout in Florida into this quick reference guide for you and your clients. Enclosed are the results from the statewide races for Governor, Attorney General, Chief Financial Officer, Commissioner of Agriculture and US Senate. The Florida Congressional Districts, Florida Senate and House of Representative races are also listed as well as the outcomes of the judicial retention ballots and the Constitutional Amendments that were on the ballot in Florida. The Sunshine State saw over 8.23 million ballots cast in this year’s midterm election which is a substantial increase. Traditionally, midterms do not have as large a turnout as presidential years. By way of comparison, the 2016 presidential race in Florida statewide turnout numbers were 9,546,922 votes which was at that time 74.22% turnout of voters. Current numbers show active registration in Florida at 13,278,070. These new found electorates will likely redefine politics in this state for several years. The incoming group of elected officials will have to get started quickly as the Organization Session is scheduled for November 20, 2018 while Regular Session is set to convene on March 5, 2019.
