Florida's 8th congressional district, Congressional district in Central Florida, United States.
Florida's 8th congressional district is a House district along the Atlantic coast of Florida. It covers Brevard County, Indian River County, and portions of Orange County.
The district took its current shape following the 2012 redistricting, replacing earlier boundary lines with a focus on coastal communities. This shift moved the seat away from inland areas toward the Atlantic coast.
This district contains the Kennedy Space Center, making space exploration and aerospace industries central elements of the local economy and identity.
Residents vote for House elections every two years in the fall, with polling places spread across the major communities. Visitors can check with local election offices in the region to learn about voting dates and locations.
The district's population of 817,216 people includes substantial communities in Melbourne, Titusville, Cocoa, and Cape Canaveral.
