Early voting on campus is increasingly popular in Florida

Tracking of early voting in Florida shows that turnout at polling sites hosted on college and university campuses has increased substantially between 2018 and 2024. In the 2024 presidential race, 142,085 early voters cast their ballots at a university polling place -- that's 2.6% of all 5.4 million people who voted early in-person in Florida. The sites don't just serve students -- data analysis shows that residents in surrounding communities also find on-campus voting to be convenient.
