Voter Registration Deadline Approaching For November General Election

September 24, 2012

Tuesday, October 9 is the last day to register to vote or change party affiliation for the November 6 general election.

Florida law mandates that registration books close 29 days before an election, but due to the Columbus Day holiday the deadline was extended. New registrations must be completed on or before the end of the business day on October 9 in order for them to be effective for the November 6 election, according to Escambia County Supervisor of Elections David Stafford. Address changes can be made after the books close.
