For more information about Statute 98.0981(2)(a) visit https://www.flrules.org/gateway/ruleno.asp?id=1S-2.053&Section=0. In the Detailed View in ENR, if a candidate has between 1 and 29 votes for a specific vote type, instead of displaying a count for each vote type for that candidate, a dash (-) appears for all vote types for that candidate.
