TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Just less than 67% of the eligible voter population turned out to vote in the 2024 general election, according to a report from the University of Florida. That's down from the 77% of voters who went to the polls in the 2020 general election.

What You Need To Know

  •  In Florida, 66.69% of voters came out to vote

  •  That's higher than the national average of 64.52%

  •  That's lower than voter turnout in 2020 (77%) and 2016 (75%)

Florida's voter turnout is a little higher than the national turnout average, which was 64.52%. The state with the highest voter turnout was Minnesota with 76.53%, and the state with the lowest voter turnout was Oklahoma with 53.28%.

Historically, Florida voter turnout has been relatively high, especially in presidential elections. The 2020 voter turnout was up somewhat from 2016's 75%. The last presidential race in which turnout was 67% was in 1996.

Those numbers naturally get smaller in non-presidential election years. In 2018, voter turnout was 63%, and in 2014, 51% of voters came out. 

The University of Florida's election lab reports 158,549,000 ballots were counted in the United States. Of that, 11 million votes were cast in Florida, according to the election lab report.
