Answer:

There are three basic types -- primary, general and local. In addition, "special elections" can be called which are limited to one specific purpose, e.g., filling a vacancy.

What is a primary election?

There are two types of primary elections. In a Presidential primary election, voters registered with a political party select the candidate who will represent that party on the ballot in the next general election in November. In its statewide primary, California now has a Top Two Open Primary system, which means that all candidates running for state constitutional, U.S. Congressional, and state legislative offices will be listed on a single statewide primary election ballot. Voters can vote for the candidate of their choice for these offices, regardless of how they are registered. The top two candidates, as determined by the voters, will advance to the general election in November.

In a Presidential primary election, if you are registered to vote with a political party, you will be given a ballot for that party. Each political party has the option of allowing decline-to-state voters to vote in their Presidential primary.

What is a general election?

The general election is one that is held in the whole state and is not limited to voters in a particular party or a specific locality.

Answer:

PRIMARY ELECTION, NON-PARTISAN JUDICIAL and SCHOOL BOARD ELECTIONS, GENERAL ELECTION AND MUNICIPAL ELECTION.

Explanation:

The PRIMARY ELECTION is held on the Tuesday, eleven (11) weeks before the General Election, to select party nominees.  Florida is a closed primary state.  In a primary election, voters may only vote for candidates in their party of registration (Section 101.021 Florida Statutes).  By not selecting a party when you register to vote, your vote is limited in the primaries to only judges and issues.  A Universal Primary Contest or "UPC" means a contest in a primary election in which all candidates have the same party affiliation and the winner will have no opposition in the general election.  All qualified electors may vote on a UPC regardless of party affiliation.

NON-PARTISAN JUDICIAL and SCHOOL BOARD ELECTIONS are held on the same day as the Primary Election.  Candidates for these offices do not run as representatives of any political party.  If there are three (3) or more candidates and none of the three receive a majority vote (50% + 1), the two (2) top vote getters go to the General Election.

The GENERAL ELECTION is held the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November, in even numbered years, to fill national, state and county offices, and for voting on constitutional amendments and local referendums.  In a general election you may vote for the candidates of any party, regardless of your political party affiliation.

MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS are held in separate cities and towns within the county.  If you reside within a municipality, you should check with your municipal clerk for the date of your municipal election.  NOTE:  You must live inside the boundaries of a municipality to be eligible to vote in that municipality's election.
