**The 8.25M-8.5M turnout bracket leads at 85.8% because final certified results from the November 3, 2026 Florida U.S. Senate special election align closely with that range.** With roughly 13.7 million active registered voters, overall participation reached approximately 60.8%, producing totals near 8.33 million ballots after strong early and mail voting (over 5.5 million combined) followed by a sizable Election Day surge, particularly among Republicans. Ashley Moody’s (R) victory over Angie Nixon (D) reflected the state’s registration edge and higher GOP Election Day mobilization, which offset Democratic advantages in absentee and early in-person ballots while keeping total volume within the leading bracket. No major last-minute disruptions or weather events altered the pattern, and historical midterm turnout benchmarks in Florida supported expectations in this narrow band ahead of final canvassing.
