Early Voting Underway

January 21, 2012

Early voting is underway with four sites in Escambia County for the January 31 Presidential Preference Primary.

Early voting will be available  Sunday, January 22 from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m.; and from Monday, January 23 through Saturday, January 28 from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. Early voters will cast paper ballots through  digital scanners. As a result of the renovations of the downtown library, the Genealogy Branch Library will not be available as a polling place; the Tryon Branch Library will be used instead.

Early voting will take place at:

  • Supervisor of Elections Main Office, 213 Palafox Place, Second Floor
  • Supervisor of Elections Annex, 292 Muscogee Road, Cantonment
  • Tryon Branch Library, 1200 Langley Avenue
  • Southwest Branch Library, 12248 Gulf Beach Highway

Votes may also be cast by mail or on primary day.

By Mail: Voters may vote by mail using an absentee ballot, which can be requested through the online form at EscambiaVotes.com, or by contacting the Supervisor of Elections by mail, phone (850-595-3900), e-mail (absentee@escambiavotes.com), or fax (850-595-3914). Requests must include the voter’s date of birth and the address, and must be received no later than Wednesday, January 25. Voted ballots must be received in the Elections Office no later than 7:00 p.m. on Election Day and may not be returned to a polling location on Election Day. Absentee voters may track the status of their ballot at EscambiaVotes.com by clicking Track My Ballot.

At Your Precinct: The third option for voters is to cast a paper ballot at their precinct on Election Day, January 31, using our digital scanners. Polls will be open from 7:00 a.m. until 7:00 p.m. A touchscreen is also available at each polling place and early voting site for persons with disabilities.

Voters are reminded to bring their photo and signature ID with them to the polls, and are encouraged to contact the Elections Office by phone or e-mail with any questions.
