Election day tips for Escambia voters

   November 5, 2018

Supervisor of Elections David H. Stafford reminds Escambia County voters of some easy tips to prepare for Election Day, Tuesday, November 6:

  • For reliable election information, use trusted sources. Check EscambiaVotes.com, our official Twitterand Facebook pages, or call (850) 595-3900 for information or if you have questions.
  • If you are unsure of your registration status, check EscambiaVotes.com, e-mail us at soe@escambiavotes.com, or call (850) 595-3900.
  • Registration books closed to new registrants on October 11. Address changes can still be made for existing Florida voters.
  • If you need to update your address, contact us prior to Election Day so you can be directed to your proper polling location.
  • Confirm the location of your polling place prior to Election Day:  It is listed on your sample ballot, voter information card, online at EscambiaVotes.com, or call (850) 595-3900.
  • Several polling locations have changed since the last election. A list of the changes is below.
  • 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.
  • The ballot is long and includes 12 constitutional amendments. Take time to review your sample ballot prior to Election Day to familiarize yourself with all the contests and bring it with you to the polls. A sample ballot was mailed to voters and can be accessed online at EscambiaVotes.com.
  • Early voting ends today, Saturday, November 3. If you have not yet voted or did not request a vote-by-mail ballot by October 31, 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., and 4:00 p.m. until 6:00 p.m.
  • Remember to make only one selection per contest on your ballot.
  • You may not return your completed vote-by-mail ballot to your precinct on Election Day – it must be returned to the Elections Office by 7 p.m.
  • 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 cancelled.

For further information, please contact us by phone at (850) 595-3900, e-mail us at soe@escambiavotes.com or visit EscambiaVotes.com.
