Orange County, Florida, Petitioner v. Rick Singh

Summary

The Florida Supreme Court approved the Fifth District Court of Appeal’s decision that the Florida Election Code expressly preempts Orange County’s ordinance requiring nonpartisan elections for county constitutional officers, and affirmed the lower court’s rulings on standing, the single‑subject rule, and the ballot title and summary. The Court also recalled its earlier opinion and substituted this one. Justice Labarga dissented, arguing the ordinance is not preempted.
