Florida: Behind the Numbers
ANALYSIS BY CHAMBERHUB
The Florida Chamber's Exclusive, Interactive, and Customizable Voter File
First in Florida History - Republicans Overtake Democrats in Voter Registration
 
The Big Picture: The latest update of Florida voter registration processed by ChamberHub shows Republicans have overtaken Democrats in voter registration. Republicans now hold a lead of just over 4,000 voters, 5,118,357 to 5,114,039. NPA/Other voters have 4,067,059 registered in Florida.

The Breakdown: Going back to the 2008 General Election, Democrats had a 657,775 voter lead on Republicans. In 2012, that advantage dropped to just over 500,000 and dwindled to just over 325,000 for the 2016 election. By the 2020 election, Democrats advantage stood just shy of 150,000 and now one year later has been completely erased.
Florida Chamber's Partisan Performance Index
The Florida Chamber’s Series on Redistricting: Florida Senate and House Release Proposed Maps

The Big Picture: A few weeks ago, the Florida Senate Committee on Reapportionment released eight proposed maps, four for Florida’s 28 Congressional districts and four for Florida’s 40 Senate districts and has since held committee hearings regarding the maps. 

On Monday, the Florida House Redistricting Committee released four proposed maps, two for Florida’s 28 Congressional districts and two for Florida’s 120 House districts. The House Redistricting Committee will begin discussing the proposed maps this Thursday and Friday in Tallahassee. 

Be in the Know: To better understand how the electorate of Florida is comprised across the state, the Florida Chamber proudly released the Florida Partisan Performance indexes, or FPPs. You may read the entire report, as well as regional reports by clicking here.

For the next 30 days, this tool will be publicly available, but will eventually become an exclusive benefit for members of the Florida Chamber Political Institute (FCPI) and the Florida Free Enterprise Fund. To continue having access to this data and analyses, please contact Nick Catroppo.
