FLORIDA STATE SENATE REDISTRICTING AND RENUMBERING
All of Florida’s state Senate seats were up for re‐election in 2018. Between 2012 and 2015, legislatively enacted state Senate maps were repeatedly challenged in Florida courts. In December 2015, the Florida Supreme Court and Second Judicial Circuit Court in Leon County ordered new state Senate redistricting plans.
During the legal proceedings for the state Senate districts, the Courts further ordered the Legislature to renumber, at random, the districts in this plan. In 2016, Lee County’s Senate districts became 26, 27 and 28.
In accordance with Article 3, Section 15 of the Florida Constitution and due to 2012‐2015 redistricting litigation and required district renumbering, in order to allow for staggered terms, odd‐numbered Senate districts in a presidential election year have a 4‐year term; even‐numbered Senate districts have a 2‐year term. In the 2018 election cycle, even‐numbered Senate districts will appear on the ballot and have 4‐year terms.
