Leon County Supervisor of Elections Reminds Voters of Ways to Vote in the 2026 Primary Election
Leon County, FL – Mark S. Earley, Supervisor of Elections for Leon County, reminds voters of the three ways to vote in the 2026 Primary Election. “Voters have three ways to cast their ballots in the upcoming Primary Election,” said Supervisor Earley. “Voters can return their voted Vote-by-Mail ballot, vote at any Early Voting site in Leon County, or vote on Election Day at their neighborhood polling place. All voters in Leon County, regardless of party affiliation, can vote in this election. I encourage every registered voter to make their voice heard by casting their ballot in the Primary.”

Early Voting has started and runs through Sunday, August 16. Voters can vote at any of the 10 sites located across Leon County.

Voting by Mail
The deadline to be mailed a ballot has passed. However, voters can still pick up a Vote-by-Mail ballot in person through Election Day. Ballots can be picked up from the Elections Office at 2990-1 Apalachee Parkway or at any Early Voting site. Voters can also have a family member pick up their Vote-by-Mail ballot. Since Early Voting has started, voters must provide a reason that prevents them from voting in person when picking up a Vote-by-Mail ballot.
The Elections Office must receive a voted Vote-by-Mail ballot by 7 p.m. on Election Day in order to count them. The United States Postal Service recommends that voters mail their ballots at least one week before Election Day, so voters should strongly consider returning their ballots by hand instead of returning by mail.
Voters can hand-deliver their voted Vote-by-Mail ballot, sealed inside the signed return envelope, to a secure ballot intake station. They are located at each Early Voting site during the days and hours of Early Voting. Ballots can also be returned to the Elections Office during regular business hours, extended to 7 p.m. on Election Day. Voters can also have a family member drop off their ballot. Vote-by-Mail ballots must be returned in the special envelope, with the voter’s signature and date signed.
Voting at the Polls on Election Day
Election Day, August 18, is the last chance to vote in the Primary Election. Early Voting sites are closed on Election Day, so voters must vote at their designated neighborhood polling place. Some polling places have changed since the last election, so voters are encouraged to check their polling place assignment before heading to the polls. Voters can find their polling place address on their voter information card, in their Election Guide, at LeonVotes.gov/YourVoterInfo, or by calling the Elections Office.
On Election Day, each polling place is open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Any voters waiting in line at 7 p.m. will have the opportunity to vote.
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 hours extended to 7 p.m. on Election Day.
