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. Voters are reminded to bring their photo and signature ID with them to the polls and are encouraged to visit EscambiaVotes.com for complete voting information or contact the Elections Office by phone or e-mail with any questions.

    Supervisor of Elections Office is doing an amazing service with their website and providing the information on voters who have already cast their ballot.
    Early Voting portion is updated throughout the day and it’s really neat watching the numbers change for each of the sites.

    Thanks to ALL in the SOE Office.

    Voting by mail is the way for me. No lines or weather to deal with. I just wish there was someone who I could feel good about voting for. :(
