- 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.
- Florida law prohibits any type of photography inside polling room.
- Be sure to review your sample ballot 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.

- 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 canceled.
- Early voting ended Saturday – if you have not yet voted or did not request a vote-by-mail ballot by November 2, 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.

@Deplorabe Me, Makes you wonder don’t it? Is Trump right concerning votes being stolen by the democrats? And you are right about them having plenty of time to make sure all machines are in working order and/or having a backup machine in place if needed. I,m sure they have plenty of excuses for the malfunction!
Well now! The ballot reading machine at Quintette is not working! Had to leave my ballot in a slot on machine to be read later. I trust it’s read properly! Grrrrr………they’ve had plenty of time to make sure everything is working properly!
