Brevard County Civic Engagement: Voting, the 2026 Ballot and the County Commission

Brevard County voters register online through the state system or on a printed form returned to any of the four Supervisor of Elections offices (Brevard County Supervisor of Elections).

The online route for Brevard voters asks for a valid Florida Driver License or State ID or the last 4 digits of a Social Security Number.

Those four Brevard offices are in Titusville at 400 South Street, in Viera at 2725 Judge Fran Jamieson Way, in Melbourne at 1515 Sarno Road and in Palm Bay at 450 Cogan Drive SE (Supervisor of Elections office list). The main elections line is 321-290-VOTE (8683), with a toll-free Spanish line at 1-833-803-0613.

Florida closes the registration books on the 29th day before each election (Florida Statutes 97.055). For the 2026 General Election the Brevard County Supervisor of Elections lists the books as closed on Monday, October 5, 2026 (Brevard Current Elections), so a new registration made after that date is for later elections. The Brevard County elections and voting guide walks through registration, ID at the polls and precinct lookup step by step.

The last day to ask the Brevard County Supervisor of Elections to send a mail ballot for the 2026 General Election is Thursday, October 22 by 5:00 p.m. (Brevard Mail Ballot Information).

Requests go in online, by mail to PO Box 410819, Melbourne, FL 32941-0819, or by phone at 321-633-2127. The Brevard office needs the voter's full name, date of birth, Brevard County residential address and a Florida Driver License or ID Card number or the last 4 digits of the Social Security Number (Supervisor of Elections mail ballot page).

A voted Brevard mail ballot can go back three ways: by the U.S. Postal Service, into a Secure Ballot Intake Station at an early voting site during its hours, or into an intake station at any of the four administrative offices during office hours. Mail ballots must be received in the Supervisor of Elections office on Election Day by 7:00 p.m. to be counted (How to return a voted mail ballot).

Early voting for the November 3, 2026 General Election runs Monday, October 19 through Saturday, October 31, 2026, from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on weekdays and 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday (Brevard County Early Voting).

A Brevard voter may use any of the county's early voting sites regardless of home address. On Election Day the rule flips: voters can vote only at their own precinct polling place, found through the precinct lookup on the elections website or on the Voter Information Card (Supervisor of Elections early voting page). The 2026 General Election in Brevard County guide lists the early voting sites and what each ballot style contains.

Every Brevard voter sees three state constitutional amendments, a county referendum to renew the SOIRL half-cent sales tax for the Indian River Lagoon for ten years, and two School Board renewals (Brevard 2026 Amendments and Referenda).

Amendment 3 would raise the homestead exemption for non-school taxes to $150,000 in 2027 and $250,000 in 2028 and cut the annual assessment cap on non-homestead property from 10% to 5%. Amendment 1 concerns the state budget stabilization fund and Amendment 2 exempts tangible personal property on agricultural land. The School Board asks voters to renew a one mill levy for four years for teacher and staff pay and to renew the half-cent sales surtax approved by voters in 2014 and 2020 for ten years for school facilities, security and technology (Supervisor of Elections referenda list).

Five municipalities add questions for their own voters: Malabar Ordinance 2026-05 on at-large voting for Town Council, Melbourne Ordinance 2026-25 on letting the zoning commission take over Board of Adjustment duties, Melbourne Beach Resolution 2026-03 on up to $5,000,000 in general obligation bonds for stormwater and roadwork, Palm Bay Ordinance 2026-20 on filling City Council vacancies, and ten Palm Shores charter questions, including a switch from a strong Mayor to a council form of government (2026 Amendments and Referenda). The 2026 General Election in Brevard County guide covers each question in plain language.

The Brevard County Board of County Commissioners has five members, each elected from one district, and the county's interactive district map confirms which district an address falls in (Brevard County Board of County Commissioners).

The Brevard County Supervisor of Elections lists the current officeholders and their district offices (Supervisor of Elections county officials list): District 1, Rita Pritchett, Government Complex North, 400 South Street, Titusville, (321) 607-6901; District 2, Tom Goodson, Merritt Island Service Complex, 2575 North Courtenay Parkway, (321) 454-6601; District 3, Kim Adkinson, 1311 East New Haven Avenue, Melbourne, (321) 633-2075; District 4, Rob Feltner, 2725 Judge Fran Jamieson Way, Building C, Suite 214, Melbourne, FL 32940, (321) 607-6901; District 5, Thad Altman, 150 5th Avenue, Indialantic, (321) 253-6611. The same list names Jim Liesenfelt as County Manager.

The same Brevard list shows the District 1, 2 and 4 terms ending on November 17, 2026 and gives November 3, 2026 as the next election for Districts 2 and 4, while listing District 1's next election as November 7, 2028, which does not match that seat's November 17, 2026 term end (County Government Officials). Constitutional officers such as Supervisor of Elections Tim Bobanic and Tax Collector Lisa Cullen are elected countywide, not by commission district.

Florida law gives members of the public in Brevard County, as elsewhere in the state, a reasonable opportunity to be heard on a proposition before a board or commission of a county agency or authority (Florida Statutes 286.0114).

Under the same law a Brevard County board may adopt rules on the opportunity to be heard, such as guidelines on how much time each speaker has and a set period for public comment.

The Brevard County Commissioners page links the tools a resident needs before speaking: Board Meetings for agendas, Legal Ads and Public Notices, Lobbyist Search and Registration, and Ordinances (Brevard County Commissioners page). The county main line is (321)-633-2000.

Advisory boards are the other door in. In late August 2026 the Brevard County Commission posted that it was seeking Audit Committee applicants and Opioid Misuse Abatement Advisory Committee applicants (Brevard County Commission news). Notices like these appear in the Latest News list on the Commissioners page.

The table maps the common Brevard County civic questions to the key fact and the guide in this section that goes deeper.

The Brevard County elections and voting guide is the standing reference for any year; the 2026 General Election in Brevard County guide is tied to the November 3, 2026 ballot and its dates (Brevard Early Voting page).
