The Lead
Hernando County voters head to the polls today for Florida’s 2026 primary election, with precinct locations open from 7:00 AM until 7:00 PM. Local ballots feature primary contests shaping county leadership, school board seats, and state legislative nominations. Residents casting votes in person must bring valid photo identification with a signature to their designated precinct site. For registered voters holding mail-in ballots who prefer not to mail them on election day, secure intake stations are active at the Supervisor of Elections offices in both Spring Hill and Brooksville until polls close. Precinct assignments can be verified through the county elections system prior to heading out. Election staff encourage voters to review sample ballots in advance to navigate contested primary races efficiently throughout the day.
