Monroe County Early Voting Record-Breaking Turnout, Election Day Tuesday

Early voting has ended for the 2026 midterm elections, and the Monroe County Board of Elections reported record-breaking turnout. Now, all eyes are on Tuesday’s Election Day. More than 95,000 people cast ballots during the nine days of early voting, according to the Board of Elections. The previous record was 70,000, which the county surpassed two days ago. Officials said turnout has been more in line with a presidential election. They said this surge is due to voter engagement from all sides of the political spectrum.

The Board of Elections said it is still uncertain whether the high early voting turnout will be reflected on Election Day, but higher early turnout usually means higher turnout on the day itself. Tuesday is your last day to vote and the deadline to postmark an absentee ballot or deliver it in person to your county’s board of elections. All postmarked ballots must be received no later than Nov. 10. Unlike early voting, you must vote at your designated polling location on Election Day. You can find your polling location and confirm that you’re registered here.
