Another option for voters is to cast an absentee ballot, which can be obtained by contacting the Supervisor of Elections by mail, phone (850-595-3900), e-mail (absentee@escambiavotes.com), fax (850-595-3914), or by using the online form at EscambiaVotes.com. Requests must include the voter’s date of birth and the address where the ballot should be mailed, and must be received
no later than Wednesday, August 18th. Voted ballots must be received in the Elections Office no later than 7:00 p.m. on Election Day. Absentee voters may now follow the status of their ballot by clicking Track My Ballot on EscambiaVotes.com.

The third option for voters is to cast a paper ballot at their precinct on Election Day using our digital scanners. Polls will be open from 7:00 a.m. until 7:00 p.m. A touchscreen is also available at each polling place and early voting site for persons with disabilities. All eligible voters in Escambia County are being mailed a sample ballot. A sample ballot, along with additional election information, may also be viewed at EscambiaVotes.com. Florida is a “closed primary” state, which means that voting in a party’s primary is limited to those voters registered in that party when registration closed for the election (July 26th). However, all voters may vote in any non-partisan races (circuit judge, school board, Pensacola mayor) appearing on their primary ballot, regardless of party affiliation.
