Sample Ballots Are In The Mail For Jan. 31 Presidential Primary

January 18, 2012

Escambia County Supervisor of Elections David H. Stafford said Tuesday that sample ballots for the January 31 Presidential Preference Primary are being mailed to Escambia County voters.

The sample ballot includes a ballot image, the voter’s polling location, instructions on marking their ballot, and information on early voting, absentee voting, and voting on Election Day. A sample ballot is also available at EscambiaVotes.com. While only registered Republicans can vote in that party’s primary for President, all voters, regardless of party, can vote on the countywide EDATE referendum.

Voters have three different ways to cast their ballot:

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.

Early Voting: Early voting will be available Saturday, January 21 and Sunday, January 22 from 10:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m.; and from Monday, January 23 through Saturday, January 28 from 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. Early voters will cast paper ballots through our digital scanners, and may choose any one of the four sites:

  • Supervisor of Elections Main Office, 213 Palafox Place, Second Floor
  • Supervisor of Elections Annex, 292 Muscogee Road, Cantonment
  • Southwest Branch Library, 12248 Gulf Beach Highway
  • Tryon Branch Library*, 1200 Langley Avenue *As a result of the renovations of the downtown library, the Tryon Branch will be used instead of the Genealogy Branch.

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.
