Florida residents face a packed ballot on Tuesday, Nov. 3, as they prepare to select state and federal leaders. The day marks a decisive moment for the state's political hierarchy, with voters casting decisions in high-stakes contests. Key positions up for grabs include the governorship, the attorney general role, and a U.S. Senate seat. Residents of Orange County will also vote for their mayor. Beyond individual candidates, the electorate must weigh in on three state constitutional amendments that could reshape state law.
FOX 35 has scheduled its live coverage to begin at 4 a.m. local time. The broadcast kicks off on the Good Day Orlando program, offering early insights into the day's proceedings. As the morning progresses, coverage continues on FOX Orlando Live and Florida Live. This schedule provides a continuous stream of updates from the start of the media day until the polls close. Viewers can access these feeds via the FOX 35 channel, the FOX Local app, YouTube, and various social media platforms.
Voting hours in Florida span ten hours, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. local time. The first batch of official election results is slated for release at 8 p.m. That evening segment on FOX 35 News will focus heavily on these initial numbers as they become available. The station's digital team is monitoring the count in real time to provide minute-by-minute updates. Live data and story coverage are available on fox35orlando.com/election and within the FOX Local application.
The FOX Local app serves as the primary digital hub for this coverage. The service offers free 24/7 live streaming, breaking news, and detailed reporting on politics, health, and sports. Users can watch locally produced programming on their televisions without a cable subscription or TV provider. The app is available on Roku, Amazon FireTV, Apple TV, Google Android TV, and Vizio devices. It also functions on mobile devices, including iPhone, iPad, and Android phones and tablets.
Direct download links for the app are located at https://www.foxlocal.com/how-to-watch. This resource ensures viewers can quickly install the necessary software on their preferred device. The platform provides a comprehensive look at the day's events, including weather forecasts and traffic reports alongside the political coverage. While the FOX Local app offers extensive local content, it does not carry national FOX network programming. This distinction means NFL games are not available through the free local streaming service.
