Today Is Final Day To Register For January 31 Presidential Primary

January 3, 2012

Today is the last day to register or change parties prior to the January 31 Presidential Preference Primary.

The Escambia County Supervisor of Elections Office will be open extended hours – until 7:00 p.m. – to accommodate voters.

Florida law mandates that registration books close 29 days before an election. With the observance of the New Year’s Day holiday occurring on Monday, January 2, new registrations and party changes must be completed or postmarked no later than January 3 in order for them to be effective for the Presidential Preference Primary. Address updates, signature updates, and other changes can be made after the books close.
