November 7TH
The Leon County Supervisor of Elections office shared these updates about post-election work.
Election Results: Voters can view preliminary election results by visiting LeonVotes.gov [leonvotes.gov] and clicking on the ‘Results’ button.
The preliminary results include nearly every ballot cast in the election. However, a small number of provisional ballots and Vote-by-Mail ballots with signature issues still need to be reviewed.
This includes Vote-by-Mail ballots from overseas voters, which can be received up to 10 days after Election Day. We do not expect these additional ballots will change any outcomes or trigger any recounts in this election.
On Friday, November 8, the Leon County Canvassing Board will submit the first set of unofficial results to the Florida Department of State. These will include the remaining domestic Vote-by-Mail ballots and eligible provisional ballots. The first unofficial results form the basis for determining whether a recount will be triggered by law.
On Saturday, November 16, the Leon County Canvassing Board will certify Leon County’s Official Results for the 2024 General Election and submit them to the Florida Department of State.
Post-Election Audit: Immediately after the official results are submitted to the State, the Elections Office will conduct a post-election audit. In its commitment to providing outstanding voter services, the Leon County Supervisor of Elections Office audits each election to the highest standards possible. The Elections Office will audit every vote in every race on every ballot in Leon County to ensure the accuracy of the reported results and the integrity of the election.
