Supervisor of Elections Releases New Web Site
February 3, 2010
Escambia County Supervisor of Elections David H. Stafford has released an updated and expanded version of EscambiaVotes.com, the popular web site first launched in 2005 to expand the reach of the Elections Office by featuring a wide array of services and information online.
The redesigned and enhanced site builds on the success of the original by providing even more information to the public, while increasing functionality and ease of navigation. For example, the election results tool features new graphics and incorporates additional information, including precinct-by-precinct results for all elections since 2006. The home page includes the latest voter registration statistics in an easy-to-read format, while the navigation of the new site is much simpler and intuitive. And with the new online filing requirements enacted by the County Commission and City Council at the request of the Elections Office, campaign finance information will be available to the public in real time.
In conjunction with the rollout of the new site, the Escambia County Elections Office is entering the world of “social media” with launch of a fan page on Facebook, a Twitter account, and a YouTube page where video content will be posted. Links to each of these can be found on the homepage of EscambiaVotes.com. An RSS feed is also available for those interested in receiving new information as soon as it is posted, and Google Maps are incorporated to pinpoint the location of the Elections Office, early voting sites, and polling places.
“As I said five years ago when we launched our first site, the Internet is the primary source of information and news for a large and growing segment of America, particularly younger generations whose participation in elections lags far behind older voters,‟” said Stafford. “We now know that the Internethas expanded far beyond what many thought possible, and we have a responsibility to the public to keep pace.”
