Voters in Brevard County cast ballots on Tuesday, August 18, 2026, in a primary election that determined candidates for local, state, and federal positions. The results will determine who moves forward to the general election on November 3, 2026. In Florida's primary system, the candidate with the most votes wins, even without a majority. The race for Brevard County Commission District 1, District 4, and School Board Districts 1, 2, and 5 were among the most competitive. Results for these races, along with contests for circuit judges, city council seats, and state and federal offices, are still being tallied. The supervisors of elections will release final results once all ballots are counted.
Contested races included the Brevard County Judge Group 3, Brevard Circuit Judge Group 4, and Group 13, as well as city council seats in Palm Bay and Titusville. The Canaveral Port Authority races for Districts 3 and 5 also drew multiple candidates. Statewide races such as Florida Governor, Agriculture Commissioner, and Chief Financial Officer saw heavy turnout, with results pending. The U.S. Senate race and state legislative districts were also on the ballot.
Only races with more than one candidate are included in the results, and the top three vote-getters are displayed. However, initial results may be incomplete or out of order until all votes are processed. Voters in Brevard County will have until November 3 to choose between the primary winners.
The general election will feature candidates who won their respective primaries, including those from the Florida State House and Senate districts.
