The City of Archer approved all four proposed charter amendments in the 2026 General Election. Unofficial results indicate that Amendment 1, Amendment 2, Amendment 3, and Amendment 4 all passed. Voters in Gainesville also approved a single charter amendment for that municipality.

Results in competitive legislative races show narrow margins. In State Representative District 22, Amy Trask of the Democratic Party leads incumbent Chad Johnson of the Republican Party by 2,089 votes. The race for State Senator in District 6 features three candidates: Jason Bellamy-Fults of the Democratic Party, incumbent Jennifer Bradley of the Republican Party, and Joseph Thornton of the American Self Party.

U.S. Representative District 3 includes three contenders. Incumbent Kat Cammack of the Republican Party faces Seth Harp of the Democratic Party and Mike Klein, who runs without party affiliation. Local races also concluded with various candidates listed. Dewayne Baines and Ken Cornell appear in the results for Alachua County Commission District 4. Hunter Miller and Janine Plavac are listed for School Board District 1. Andrew Miller and Timothy Guinn Jr. appear for High Springs City Commissioner Seat 1, while Ross Ambrose and Gigi Buigas are listed for Seat 2.

The data reflects unofficial counts for districts that include Alachua County. A link for statewide results was provided at the bottom of the reporting page.
