Who has voted in Florida so far

Where it comes from

Ballot counts come from the Florida Division of Elections' Vote-by-Mail & Early Voting Statistics, compiled from each county supervisor of elections' daily report. Registered voters are the state's active registration by county and party (—).

How often it updates

Counties report once a day by 8 a.m., covering activity through the previous day; the state refreshes its page at noon, 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. for late reports. This page checks for new numbers every few minutes and shows the time of the state's latest report.

Party groups

Democrats and Republicans are voters registered with those parties. Others combines voters with no party affiliation and every minor party. Each county is colored by the group that has cast the most ballots (early + mail) so far.

What it doesn't show

A voter's registered party is not their vote, and many voters cross party lines. Election Day ballots, provisional ballots and mail ballots still in transit are not included. Some counties start early voting later than others.

How we check it

Every update is validated before it reaches this page. All 67 counties must be present, and each party group's county totals must add up exactly to the state's own statewide figure. If a single number fails to reconcile, the update is rejected and the last verified report stays on screen rather than publishing a figure we cannot square with the source.

Why our totals never go backwards

The state occasionally republishes an earlier report, and its downloadable files can lag the figures on its own statistics page. We read the statistics page first, fall back to the files only if the page cannot be reached, and compare timestamps for early voting and mail ballots separately. A newer report never gets replaced by an older one, so a number on this page can stay flat but will not fall.

A returned ballot is not a counted vote

A mail ballot counts here once a county records it as received. It still has to clear signature verification before it is tallied, and a ballot with a missing or mismatched signature can be rejected unless the voter fixes it within the state's cure period. The number of ballots in hand is therefore always slightly higher than the number that will ultimately be counted.

Party registration is not a vote

These are the registration labels on the voters who have returned a ballot, not the choices marked inside it. Florida voters cross party lines in both directions, and the Others group, which holds every unaffiliated and minor-party voter, is large enough in Florida to decide statewide races on its own. A party leading in returned ballots is not the same as a candidate leading.

An early lead usually narrows

The two parties do not vote on the same schedule. One tends to lean on mail ballots, the other on in-person voting late in the early window and on Election Day itself. Whichever group is ahead in the first days of reporting is normally ahead by less at the end, so compare each day against the same point in the cycle rather than treating a running total as a forecast.

Compare against registration, not raw counts

A party with more registered voters in a county will usually return more ballots there, which tells you very little. The useful figure is the share of each group's own registered voters who have already voted, shown on the statewide panel and in the turnout column of the county table. That is what distinguishes genuine enthusiasm from simple size.

County size and timing distort the map

The map colors each county by whichever group has returned the most ballots, which gives a small rural county the same visual weight as one of the state's largest. Counties also open early voting on different days, so a county can appear to lag only because its sites have not opened yet. The county table, sortable by turnout, is the fairer comparison.

No results until polls close

Nothing on this page is an election result. Florida does not report vote totals before polls close at 7 p.m. local time on Election Day, and counties may not begin releasing tallies until then. Until that point these figures describe only who has voted, never how the race stands.
