Democrats Lead Early Ballots in Miami-Dade County

Democratic voters in Miami-Dade County lead the ballots cast during the November 3, 2026, elections. According to data from the Supervisor of Elections, Democrats accounted for 36.4% of ballots as of Tuesday afternoon, while Republicans followed at 35.2% and third- or no-party voters made up 28.4%.

This turnout trend contrasts with official registration rolls from October 1, which showed Republicans holding a 45,556-voter advantage over Democrats. The current figures suggest a potential shift from the 2024 election, where Donald Trump won the county by 11.4 points.

Alina Garcia, the Supervisor of Elections, provided the turnout figures that highlight this discrepancy. Republican strategists maintain that their success in the Midterms depends on Election Day turnout, noting that GOP voters historically favor in-person voting over early methods.
