Florida Elections website faces issues, voting not impacted

[Marion County Supervisor of Elections]

The Florida Division of Elections website has issues Tuesday morning while dealing with high traffic. Here’s what to do if you encounter difficulty loading the website.

County election websites, including VoteMarion.gov, have prepared for an influx of traffic throughout Election Day, particularly from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. when results are expected to begin coming in.

Marion County Supervisor of Elections Wesley Wilcox said the county’s website will switch to a “fast load” website starting at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday.

Mark Ard, the director of external affairs at the Florida Department of State, assured voters that any delays or issues with the state website would not impact voters.

“Voting operations have not been impacted in any way. The county Supervisor of Elections’ websites are still operable for any voter to look up their registration status. The state’s courtesy website is encountering record-high traffic. Any voter having difficulty utilizing the state courtesy look-up web page should go to their county SOE webpage for the same service.”
