Primary Election Day Is August 18

Palm Beach County's 2026 primary election takes place Tuesday, August 18, with polls open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Voters should verify their registration, review their sample ballot and confirm their assigned polling location before Election Day. The county Supervisor of Elections notes that Florida is a closed-primary state, so party affiliation affects which partisan contests appear on a voter's ballot, subject to the universal primary contests listed by the office. Vote-by-Mail ballots must be returned by the applicable county deadline.
