Election day is tomorrow, yet nearly 1 million Floridians have already cast ballots for primary candidates to represent them this November.

Here are the Florida Department of State Division of Elections figures that campaigns have access to, provided to Battle ‘10 by a staffer this afternoon:

Absentee Requests – 1,415,237

Absentee Votes – 590,653

Early Votes – 362,278

Total Votes Counted – 952,920

Based on the projection that approximately 20 percent of Florida’s 8.6 million registered voters show up for primaries, that would mean a projected total primary turnout of 1.72 million.

More than half of that number have already voted. We’ll have to wait until tomorrow to determine whether high early voting is indicative of increased interest in the election, or if the same voter pool is simply shifting its votes earlier for convenience sake.

If the former is true, we could see a very high primary turnout. If the latter is true, we could see a record in the percentage of votes cast before the election.
