Wednesday Last Day To Request Absentee Ballot

August 17, 2010

Wednesday is the last day to request an absentee ballot to be mailed for the August 24 primary election, according to Escambia County Supervisor of Elections David Stafford.

Stafford said voters must request their ballot no later than close of business on Wednesday, August 18th in order for it to be mailed. Voters can make their request by contacting the Supervisor of Elections by mail, phone (850-595-3900), e-mail (absentee@escambiavotes.com), fax (850-595-3914), or by using the online form at EscambiaVotes.com. Requests must include the voter’s date of birth and the address where the ballot should be mailed. Absentee voters may now follow the status of their ballot by clicking Track My Ballot at EscambiaVotes.com.

A voter will still have the ability after Wednesday to pick up an absentee ballot in person from the Elections Office. Voted absentee ballots must be received in the Elections Office no later than 7:00 p.m. on Election Day, August 24th.

In addition to absentee voting, early voting is being offered from 8:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. daily through Saturday at four area locations:

  • Supervisor of Elections Main Office, 213 Palafox Place 2nd Floor
  • Supervisor of Elections Annex, 292 Muscogee Road, Cantonment
  • Southwest Branch Library, 12248 Gulf Beach Highway
  • West Florida Genealogy Library (former Tryon Branch Library), 5740 North 9th Avenue

A third option for voters is to cast a ballot at their precinct on Election Day – polls will be open from 7:00 a.m. until 7:00 p.m. Voters must present photo and signature ID at the polls, or must vote a provisional ballot. A touchscreen is also available at each polling place and early voting site for persons with disabilities.
