Florida’s Primary Election is Tuesday, August 18, 2026. Polls are open from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., and voters who are in line by 7:00 p.m. have the right to cast a ballot.
Important reminders:
- Early voting: August 8–15 (some counties also offer voting through August 16). Check your county Supervisor of Elections for exact dates and locations.
- Vote-by-mail: The deadline to request a mailed ballot has passed (August 6), but voters who already requested one can track its status through their county Supervisor of Elections.
- Closed primary: Florida is a closed primary state, meaning voters must be registered with a political party to vote in that party’s primary, with some exceptions for nonpartisan races and universal primary contests.
- Check before you go: Confirm your voter registration, polling place, and sample ballot before Election Day.
