The August 26, 2014 general election in Highlands County featured three seats up for election. The District 1 race featured incumbent Ronnie L. Jackson and challengers Charlene Edwards and Al Joe Hinson. Five newcomers were running for the District 5 seat previously held by Andy Tuck, who left the board to serve on the Florida State Board of Education. District 4 incumbent William "Bill" Brantley was running for re-election without opposition.

The general election determines if candidates for each seat could garner a majority of the vote total. If no candidate received 50 percent plus one of the general election votes in a particular district, the top two vote recipients advance to the runoff election on November 4, 2014.
