It’s time to get judgey. Each election, you make decisions that affect your everyday life. Some of the most difficult and important choices involve selecting and retaining judges.
During this year’s primary election on Aug. 18, some of the most important races you'll decide on are selecting and retaining judges — the people responsible for interpreting the laws, resolving disputes, and protecting your rights.
In this primary, there are more than 40 circuit and county court races statewide, according to The Florida Bar. Very few judicial races will appear on the general election ballot, because most are decided in the primary. Typically, only run-offs will head to November's ballots.
There are more than 250 uncontested seats, which means those judges automatically retain their spot on the bench.
Find more about the judges on your ballot by checking out the 2026 Florida Public Media Voter Guide at your local public media’s website.
