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.

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.
