Your Lee County School Board District

Five of the seven Lee County school board seats are drawn on a map and two are not. Find the district you live in, and see which seats are still on your November 3 ballot.

Lee County elects seven school board members. Districts 1 through 5 are single-member districts drawn on a map, so only the residents of each one vote in it. Districts 6 and 7 are at-large and have no territory, so every registered voter in Lee County votes in those two seats.

The rest of the November 3 ballot

The county commissioner seats on this ballot are named for districts, but Lee County elects its commission countywide, so every registered voter in the county votes in them. A commissioner only has to live in the district. On this ballot the seats that actually depend on where you live are the single-member school board districts and, if you live inside a city, that city's races.

Lee County voters also decide a charter question on November 3, 2026: whether to elect county commissioners by single-member district starting in 2028, instead of the countywide at-large system used now. The Governor placed it on the ballot. County commissioners separately voted in May 2026 to add a term-limits question; we have not yet confirmed its final ballot language, so it is named here and not described.
