Updated Oct. 28, 2026: Excessive overvotes in top-of-the-ballot races have plagued Florida’s elections since 2008.

Just before the 2022 general election, we sent our report from 2022 to all of the Florida county supervisors of elections. The report outlined the simple changes that would prevent this unnecessary voter disenfranchisement. To our surprise, overvoting in the governor’s race declined for the first time in 15 years. Did our report make a difference? Were there other factors? We wanted to know so we asked the supervisors of elections.

Important Changes to How FFEC Works: We at FFEC have worked to promote fairer, more accurate, transparent, and accessible elections for more than two decades.
