Click to open document 09/15/2016 DISP-QUASHED & REMANDED FSC-OPINION: We therefore quash the decision below. As the previous statute is now the law, Wright "shall, the end of qualifying notwithstanding, have 48 hours from the time such notification is received, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays, to pay the fee with a cashier's check purchased from funds of the campaign account." § 99.061(7)(a)1., Fla. Stat. (2010). This Court's mandate shall serve as Wright's notification. We remand for further proceedings not inconsistent with this opinion, including the invalidation of the August 30 election upon Wright's qualification. Upon qualification, Wright's name shall be placed on the November ballot. If the parties are unable to accomplish that task, then the City will be forced into a special election for the position of Mayor of the City. See Francois v. Brinkmann, 147 So. 3d 613, 616 (Fla. 4th DCA 2014), aff'd, 184 So. 3d 504 (Fla. 2016) (invalidating open primary election where unconstitutional law foreclosed write-in candidate from qualifying); Matthews v. Steinberg, 153 So. 3d 295 (Fla. 1st DCA 2014), aff'd, SC14-2202, 2016 WL 3419207 (Fla. June 22, 2016) (authorizing invalidation and new election under same circumstances as Francois, 147 So. 3d 613). No motion for rehearing will be entertained.
