Wednesday Final Day To Request Primary Absentee Ballot By Mail

January 24, 2012

Voters who wish to be mailed an absentee ballot for the January 31 Presidential Preference Primary Election must request their ballot by close of business on Wednesday, according to Escambia County Supervisor of Elections David Stafford.

Voters can make their request by contacting the Supervisor of Elections by mail, phone at (850) 595-3900, email (absentee@escambiavotes.com), fax at (850) 595-3914, or by using the online form at EscambiaVotes.com. Requests must include the voter’s date of birth and address. Absentee voters may track the status of their ballot by clicking Track My Ballot at EscambiaVotes.com.

After Wednesday, a voter may still pick up an absentee ballot in person from the Elections Office. Voted absentee ballots must be received in the Elections Office (not at a polling location) no later than 7 p.m. on Election Day, January 31.

In addition to absentee voting, early voting is being offered from 8 a.m. until 5  p.m. daily through Saturday at four area locations:

  • 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

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