Okaloosa County Elections / Official returns / June 1922 to August 2026
The Voter Atlas
Okaloosa County votes in 52 precincts, from Laurel Hill near the Alabama line down to the Gulf at Destin and Okaloosa Island. Precinct returns survive for every major election since August 2008, and county-wide returns reach back to the June 1922 primary. Together they show a county that voted for Stevenson, Kennedy and George Wallace before it turned reliably Republican, and that still does not vote with one voice. Pick any election since 2008, filter by candidate, open a precinct, or go back a century.
Precinct returns are the Supervisor of Elections' official reports and Statements of Votes Cast; boundaries are the 2020 Census voting districts; earlier county-wide returns are the Supervisor's results archive, which the Crypt preserves. This view organizes figures from the sources; it is a research annotation, not a substitute for the official returns.

The atlas
Choose an election and a race. Each precinct is shaded by the candidate who led there; the deeper the shade, the wider the lead. Choose a candidate to map their share instead. Select a precinct on the map, or in the list below it, to open its returns.

Ballot questions
Sixty percent or nothing
A Florida constitutional amendment needs 60% of the vote statewide; a county referendum needs a simple majority. Here is how Okaloosa's own precincts voted on each question. Every dot is a precinct; the dark mark is the county as a whole; the dashed line is the bar the question had to clear. Select a row to map it above.

Every election, 1922 to 2014
Before the precinct files begin, the county's results archive keeps county-wide returns for every election back to the June 1922 primary: sheriffs and school superintendents, constables, liquor and bond referendums, runoffs. Each mark is one election; select it to read every race, with links to the preserved source.

Precinct returns for November 2014 to August 2026 are the Supervisor of Elections' official "Candidate Results by Precinct" and "Precinct Results" reports, downloaded from the county's election-night reporting site, which also gives each election's registered voters, ballots cast and turnout. The 2018 municipal election, reported by polling place rather than precinct, and three elections with no published precinct report (the 2017 and 2022 municipal elections and the 2021 tourist development mail referendum) appear only in the turnout chart. Party committee races are left out. In older files every party's primary for one office is a single contest; they are split by party here. A "universal primary" is open to every voter because all the candidates are from one party and no one else qualified.
Precinct returns for August 2008 to August 2014 (the 2008 primary and general, 2010 primary and general, 2012 primary and 2014 primary) are read from the Supervisor's Statements of Votes Cast, which the Crypt preserves. A contest is used only when its precinct totals add up exactly to the county total printed in the same statement; party committee races are left out. Page 1 of the 2010 general and 2014 primary statements is a scanned image without a text layer; it was OCR'd and corrected, and every figure on it passes the same check, along with row-by-row arithmetic and every printed percentage. Where a 2008 to 2012 statement does not say whether a primary was closed or universal, the race is labelled simply “primary”. No statement survives for the November 2012 general election.
Shares are of votes for candidates or choices and exclude undervotes and overvotes. Precinct turnout needs precinct registration: it comes from the Statements of Votes Cast for 2008 to 2014, and from OpenElections' transcription of the Supervisor's statements for the 2018 general and 2022 primary and general elections. The newer official reports do not include it. The voting-method chart uses the county summary reports, which leave out the method breakdown for very small candidates; shares are of the votes that are broken out. Republican share by method is the Republican candidate's share of the Republican and Democratic vote.
County-wide returns for 1922 to 2014 come from the Supervisor's results archive (VoterFocus): the "historical" archive for 1922 to 2005, which the Crypt's Election Results records preserve as printed pages, and the regular archive for 2006 to 2014. Presidential results begin in 1952; the 1928 to 1944 returns list individual presidential electors without party labels. Party for 1952 to 2012 is assigned from each year's Republican and Democratic nominees.
Precinct shapes are the U.S. Census Bureau's 2020 voting districts for Okaloosa County, which carry the same numbers (1 to 52) as the county's precincts in every election since 2008; the statements of 2008 to 2010 list some precincts in parts (1.1, 1.2), which are added together. Precinct names are the Supervisor's current ones. Lines can change between elections, so a precinct's area in 2008 may not match its area in 2026. Voting districts take in open water, so they are trimmed to the Census Bureau's 2020 cartographic outline of the county; inland water such as Choctawhatchee Bay is still drawn as part of the precincts that reach into it.
