Preliminary Results for Floyd County Elections

Updated at 12:30 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 7, 2025

Voter participation continues to hover at about 7,000 in Floyd County when compared to the Gubernatorial elections in 2021, 2017, and 2013. However, more Floyd County voters cast their ballots on Nov. 4 to support the Democratic candidate than in past races, reflecting state-wide trends on a local level.

During the 2021 Gubernatorial race, which saw about the same turn out of registered voters locally (a total of 7,433), Terry McAuliffe received 2,203 votes, about 300 fewer than Governor-Elect Abigail Spanberger did this year, and Glenn Youngkin received 5,230, about 450 more than this year's Republican candidate Winsome Earl-Sears, who received 4,781.

While the 2017 race for Governor saw about 2,000 less Floyd County voters overall (a total of 5,414), Republican candidate Ed Gillespie received more than 60% of the vote, claiming 3,468. Democratic candidate Ralph Northam received 1,946 votes, and Libertarian Cliff Hyra received 72.

Only about 4,000 registered voters cast their ballots in 2013, with 2,636 supporting Republican Ken Cuccinelli, and 1,488 voting for Democrat Terry McAuliffe. Libertarian Robert Sarvis received 427 votes in 2013.
