New Escambia Voter Registation Cards Being Mailed

June 4, 2012

All Escambia County voters will receive a new voter information card in the next few weeks, according to Escambia County Supervisor of Elections David Stafford.

The new cards will reflect district and precinct changes associated with the once-a-decade redistricting process. In addition to precinct boundary changes resulting from new district lines, several of Escambia County’s precincts have been consolidated.

The popularity of absentee voting and early voting has resulted in a decrease in the percentage of voters casting their ballot at the polling place on Election Day. Stafford said in the last presidential election more than half of all votes in Escambia County were cast before Election Day.

As a result of this decreased usage, budgetary constraints, and redistricting, 11 of Escambia County’s 90 precincts have been consolidated into adjoining precincts. The  plan was approved by the Escambia County Commission last month.
All registered voters will receive a new voter information card, which will contain not only the new House and Senate information, but also the precinct number and polling location.

Voters can also use the “Precinct Finder” option at EscambiaVotes.com, or call the Supervisor of Elections office (850-595-3900) to find their polling location. A precinct map of the county is also available at EscambiaVotes.com/maps. In addition, all voters will be mailed a personalized sample ballot prior to the beginning of early voting for both the Primary and General Elections, which will include their polling place information.
