Press release from Mark Earley's office:
Leon County, FL – Mark S. Earley, Supervisor of Elections for Leon County, provides an election morning update for the 2026 General Election.
“Election Day started smoothly and we are expecting a high turnout today,” said Supervisor Earley. “All polling places opened on time at 7 a.m. and will remain open through 7 p.m. Remember, our nation and our community belong to you, the voters. You have the ultimate power over your government. Flex your power - Show Up and Vote!"
A few reminders: On Election Day, you must vote at your assigned neighborhood polling place. Please check your polling place assignment before heading out to vote. You can find your polling place address on your voter information card, in your election guide, online at LeonVotes.gov/YourVoterInfo, or by calling the Elections Office at (850) 606-8683.
Vote-by-Mail ballots must be received by the Election Office no later than 7 p.m. on Election Day, or they cannot be counted (Overseas voters have a special 10-day extension). If you intend to cast your Vote-by-Mail ballot and have not yet done so, you must hand-deliver it to the Elections Office at 2990 Apalachee Parkway. Otherwise, your mail ballot will arrive too late to count.
Vote-by-Mail ballots must be returned in the special envelope, with the voter’s signature and date signed. Alternatively, voters who have not yet returned their mail ballot can still vote in-person at their Election Day neighborhood polling place.
Initial election night results will be posted to LeonVotes.gov starting shortly after 7 p.m. Results will be updated throughout the evening as ballots are counted. However, the results will not be complete until November 14, when the Leon County Canvassing Board meets to certify the official results.
Voters with questions are encouraged to contact the Supervisor of Elections Office at Vote@LeonVotes.gov, or (850) 606-8683, Monday – Friday, 8:00 a.m. – 5 p.m., with extended hours on Election Day.
