Early Voting

Early voting data lets you see which voters have already cast their ballots at early voting locations. This information updates daily during the early voting period, helping you focus your outreach on voters who haven’t voted yet.

How it works

During early voting periods, the Florida Division of Elections publishes daily reports of voters who have cast ballots at early voting sites. Neurelect ingests this data and matches it to your voter file, so you can review the latest imported early voting activity. This is reported data, not a live feed from polling locations.

The panel groups available elections by their reporting period. Check the election name and date before applying a filter; upcoming elections may be shown before filter controls are available.

Filtering options

For each election, you can choose how to handle voters who have voted early:

Common use cases

Exclude voters who already voted

The most common use case is excluding early voters from your canvassing or phone lists. If someone has already voted, there’s no need to contact them about turning out.

1. Open the Early Voting panel in your targeting filters
2. Find the election you’re working on
3. Select Exclude to remove reported early voters from the targeting results

Target early voters

In some cases, you may want to specifically reach voters who have already voted early—for example, to thank them or ask them to help get others out.

1. Find the election in the Early Voting panel
2. Select Only to target just the early voters
3. Review or export the filtered targeting audience

Data timing

Early voting data is published daily by the state and typically reflects votes cast through the previous day. The exact timing depends on when county supervisors submit their reports.

During active early voting periods, check back daily for updated voter counts.

What these filters do not establish

An early voting record shows reported participation, not who the voter supported. Absence from the latest report does not confirm that someone has not voted: the report can lag behind activity, and mail-ballot returns are a separate dataset.

Applying Exclude changes targeting results. It does not remove anyone from an existing saved list or walk packet. To update an outreach audience, rerun the criteria and review list membership. Adding fresh matches alone will not remove older members. See Voter Lists.

Check freshness before outreach

Use the latest available reporting or update information for the election. Source reporting, Neurelect’s import, and when you generated a list or file are separate points in time. A daily import schedule is not a guarantee that every count includes today’s votes.
