> Florida voters must meet key deadlines before the Nov. 3, 2026 general election. Registration closes Oct. 5, with early voting starting late October.

## Las claves

- Voter registration deadline is October 5, 2026
- Early voting runs from late October through November 1
- Election Day falls on November 3, 2026

Florida's general election is scheduled for November 3, 2026, with voters deciding on key state and federal offices. The most critical date to remember is October 5, which marks the final day for Floridians to register or update their voter registration information before casting a ballot in this year’s contest.

### Key Voting Deadlines

In addition to the Oct. 5 registration cutoff, voters should note that requests for vote-by-mail ballots must be submitted by October 22 at 5 p.m. These mail-in ballots must then be received by election officials no later than 7 p.m. on Election Day to be counted.

Early voting is another option available statewide from Oct. 24 through Oct. 31, though some counties may offer additional days leading up to the November 3 general vote.

### Election Details and Ballot Measures

The Nov. 3 election will determine who fills important positions including Florida’s next governor and one of its U.S. Senate seats. A proposed constitutional amendment regarding homestead property tax exemptions is also on the ballot for voter consideration, as we reported in [Florida 2026 Primary Election Dates and Deadlines for Voters](/noticia/florida-2026-primary-election-dates-and-deadlines-for-voters).

### How to Vote in Florida

Voters can cast their ballots by mail, during early voting periods, or in person on Election Day itself. Polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. local time on November 3. Any voter standing in line at that closing time is eligible to vote.
