Early Voting At Record Pace; Last Day To Request Mailed Ballot

August 22, 2018

The number of early votes cast by Tuesday in Escambia County exceeded the total number of early votes cast in the 2014 primary election — and there are still four more days of early voting to come. And voters who wish to be mailed a vote-by-mail ballot for the August 28 Primary Election to request their ballot no later than Wednesday, August 22.

Early Vote, Total Ballots  Cast So Far

There were 1,432 early votes cast Tuesday, bringing the total number of early votes in this election to 4,606. Another 13,882 votes have been cast by mail, for a total of 18,488 votes cast before the August 28 primary.

Vote By Mail

Voters can make their request by using the online form at EscambiaVotes.com or by contacting the Supervisor of Elections by mail, phone (850) 595-3900, fax (850) 595-3914, or e-mail. Requests must include the voter’s date of birth and address. Voters may track the status of their ballot by clicking Track My Ballot at EscambiaVotes.com.

The Postal Service recommends voters mail ballots at least one week before the due date. Voted vote-by-mail ballots must be received in the Elections Office (not at a polling location) no later than 7:00 p.m. on Election Day, Tuesday, August 28.

After Wednesday, a voter may still pick up a vote-by-mail ballot in person from the Elections Office through Monday, August 27.

    I believe that if you DON’T vote, you DON’T have a right to complain.
