Voter Registration Updates for Key Florida Counties – April 29th, 2025 - Driven By Braman Motorcars
Bottom Line: In a matter of four years Florida went from being viewed as the ultimate swing state to a red state. The state’s latest voter registration information reflected the continued surge in Republican momentum in Florida that has extended beyond November’s election. The Republican advantage over Democrats stood at a record of over 1.2 million voters entering April.
The record performance for Republicans over the prior two election cycles wouldn’t have been possible if not for the rightward turn of three of the four largest counties - Hillsborough, Miami-Dade and Palm Beach. Last November’s election featured President Trump winning traditional blue counties Duval, Hillsborough, Miami-Dade and Osceola – while only losing Palm Beach County by less than one point.
At the peak of the Democrat voter registration advantage in Palm Beach County, Democrats held an advantage of 138,400 voters. Democrats now hold an advantage of 33,135 – a total that’s 3,087 fewer voters than the previous update. Here's a look at other key counties with net partisan changes over the prior month:
- Duval: Democrats currently lead Republicans by 10,318 (GOP +217 voters)
- Hillsborough: Republicans flipped the county to a GOP majority with a lead of 3,366 (GOP +549 voters)
- Indian River: Republicans currently hold an advantage of 34,564 (GOP +136 voters)
- Martin: Republicans now hold an advantage of 37,360 (GOP +15 voters)
- Miami Dade: Democrats currently lead Republicans by 19,520 (GOP +1,811 voters)
- Osceola: Democrats currently lead Republicans by 19,078 (GOP +218 voters)
All counties continued to see a move towards the right over the past month. The biggest storyline in Florida’s political scene continues to be the state’s blue counties becoming far less blue. Palm Beach County represents one of the most significant shifts in the state. In this off-election year, changes in voter registrations will be the most visible signs of political trends within the state.
