Welcome to

Tonight, months of campaigning and millions of dollars spent will pay off for some and prove fruitless for others. Voters and candidates will be glued to their televisions and searching the web to try and be the first with the results. As Whitney Ray tells us, a new Division of Elections website is promising the fastest and easiest way to find election results in the state.

Lola Simmons has done her research, cast her ballot and is now waiting to see who will win. Her decades long tradition is to stay up watching election results on TV.

“We are going to watch TV. It’s very interesting,” said Lola.

But the tech savvy voters now have more options: watch the results on this channel and visit the Division of Election new website.

Florida Election Watch will be updated when the polls close in the Central Time Zone. Then every three minutes after that. The site makes it easier to find specific races.

“For the voter or interested person they can click on a county and see all the races by that county or they can click specific races around the state they are interested in,” said Jennifer Krell Davis, a spokeswoman with the Division of Elections.

To sort by race click on one of the Federal, State, County or Judicial links on the left side of the page. To view results by County or District us the map on the right.

Viewers can also build their own results pages, by clicking on the plus sign by races they want to follow and the minus sign by races they don’t.

To find out when the results are final for a specific county, click on the County button on the left side of the screen, scroll down to the county you’re interested in and look for these Red Xs to be replaced by Green checkmarks.

The Division of Elections is expecting a lot of traffic on its new site tonight. They tested the site earlier this week using the volume of traffic on their old site from the 2008 primary and the new site passed with flying colors. The Florida Election Watch site, is enight.elections.myflorida.com
