Here are voter tips and information from Escambia County Supervisor of Elections David Stafford:

•Polls are open 7:00 a.m. until 7:oo p.m.

• Confirm the location of your polling place. It is listed on your sample ballot, voter information card, online at EscambiaVotes.com, or call 595-3900.

• If you are unsure of your registration status, check EscambiaVotes.com, e-mail at soe@escambiavotes.com, or call 595-3900.

• If you need to update your address, contact us prior to Election Day so you can be directed to your proper polling location.

• Photo and signature ID is required for all voters – if you do not present an approved form of ID, you may vote a provisional ballot.

• Be sure to review your sample ballot prior to Election Day in order to familiarize yourself with all of the contests and bring it with you to the polls. A sample ballot was mailed to all eligible voters, and you can view your sample ballot online at EscambiaVotes.com.

• Florida is a closed primary state. In a primary election, voters may only vote for candidates in their party of registration unless there is a universal primary contest, a nonpartisan contest, or other issue on the ballot.

• Remember to make only one selection per contest on your ballot.

• Registration books closed on August 1 – new registrations and party changes for this election may not be made at the polls.

• You may not return your completed vote-by-mail ballot to your precinct on Election Day – it must be returned to the Elections Office by 7 p.m.

• If you requested a vote-by-mail ballot but chose not to return it and wish to vote at your polling place instead, please bring your unvoted ballot package with you so it can be cancelled.

• Early voting ended Saturday – if you have not yet voted or did not request a vote-by-mail ballot by August 24, you must go to your designated precinct on Election Day.

• Busiest times at the polls tend to be 7:00 a.m. until 9:00 a.m., during lunch, and 4:30 p.m. until the polls close at 7:00 p.m.
