Elections for four seats in the United States House of Representatives in Florida for the 64th Congress were held November 3, 1914.
Background
In 1912, Florida gained a fourth seat following reapportionment after the 1910 census. For that year, the fourth seat was elected at-large, but by 1914, the state had been redistricted to add a 4th district. The previous year had seen an unusual 5-way race in one district and the at-large seat and a 4-way race in the other two districts. In 1914, in contrast, there was little opposition in the general election
Democratic Primaries
The Democratic primaries were held June 2, 1914. The incumbent in the former at-large district ran unsuccessfully for the nomination in the new 4th district.
