The 2024 general election is a little over a week away, and early voting began this week in Florida. Early and mail-in voter turnout in most local counties has already exceeded total turnout in August’s primaries. Still, the vast majority of folks who are registered haven’t filled in their ovals (or touched screens) yet. Our number this week is the remaining Duval County voters who haven’t voted: 76.28%.
76.28%
So far locally, Republicans outpace Democrats in casting an early vote, and a higher percentage of early voters have visited a polling site in person than used a mail-in ballot.

Turnout so far is highest in Nassau County, where 31.3% of voters have already voted. In Baker County, only 18.36% of voters have cast a ballot. (More than half of Baker County voters showed up for August’s primary, though — a percentage virtually unheard of for primary elections.)
Here’s where we stood in local counties going into Saturday.
Early voting continues through Nov. 3 in Duval County, and through Nov. 2 in most other counties around the First Coast. Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 5.
