Jacksonville, Florida Elections: What to Expect in 2026 and 2027

If you live in Duval County, the next two election years will look very different. 2026 is a major election year with statewide and federal races, while 2027 focuses on local leadership. Knowing what’s coming — and when — makes it easier to plan ahead.

The year 2026 is a full election cycle for Florida voters, including those in Duval County. Jacksonville residents will participate in both a primary election and a general election, covering high-profile state and federal offices.

The 2026 Primary Election in Jacksonville

The primary election takes place on August 18, 2026. This is when political parties select their nominees for the November ballot. Florida is a closed primary state, meaning voters must be registered with a political party to vote in that party’s primary. Voters with no party affiliation may still vote in nonpartisan races, but not party contests.

In Jacksonville, the 2026 primary will include races for Governor, U.S. Senate, U.S. House of Representatives, Florida Cabinet positions, and seats in the Florida Legislature. These contests determine which candidates move forward to the general election.

The 2026 General Election in Jacksonville

The general election will be held on November 3, 2026. This is when all registered voters in Jacksonville can vote, regardless of party affiliation. The winners of this election will take office and represent Florida at both the state and national levels.

Early voting and vote-by-mail options will be available for both the primary and general election. Exact dates, polling locations, and ballot details are set and published by the Duval County Supervisor of Elections.
