The voter turnout was low for the special general election, with just 12,188 people across the district (which includes most of Santa Rosa County and part of Okaloosa County) casting a ballot. Boyles received 8,175 votes, or 67.07% of the vote, and Wise received 4,013 votes, or 32.93%.

Republican and former District 3 State Rep. Joel Rudman, of Navarre, resigned from the seat in January to unsuccessfully run for former U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz’s congressional seat.
