The Leon Supervisor of Elections office has unveiled a redesign of its website.

Supervisor of Elections Mark Earley told WFSU the redesign will help connect Leon residents with information before and on election day.

“This new website, it improves the stability, the security and the availability for visitors to us, to our site. It should be a platform that we can build on going into the future, and I think it serves all of our voters very well, really in a better manner than what we've been able to do with the older technology,” he said.

The upgrade comes after election night difficulties on the site during the 2024 primaries.

During that election, Leon and other counties that had all been using the same previous contractor had outages, leaving election night watch parties in suspense as results trickled out later than expected. Earley said the redesign uses a new provider. Launching the redesign now, in an election off year, means his office can ensure everything is running smoothly before next year’s elections.

“We're hoping to avoid any of those problems like has been seen statewide in future elections,” he said.

The site also has new accessibility features, as well as improvements for use on mobile. You can check it out here.
