Early Voting in Escambia County Ends Saturday: The Last Day to Vote Before Election Day
Escambia County's ten early voting sites are open Saturday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. for the final day of early voting in the November 3 general election. After Saturday, the only way left to vote is at an assigned precinct on Election Day.
Saturday is the last day to vote early in Escambia County. The Supervisor of Elections' ten early voting locations are open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday, October 31, closing a run that began October 19, and any registered voter in the county may cast a ballot at any one of the ten sites, the elections office says.
The sites include the Supervisor of Elections Office at 213 Palafox Place in downtown Pensacola, the Main Library on Spring Street, Molino Community Center, Asbury Place on College Boulevard, the Southwest Library on Gulf Beach Highway, Escambia County Extension Services in Cantonment, Brownsville Community Center, the UWF Center for Fine and Performing Arts and the Billy G. Ward Century Courthouse in Century. All ten sites passed post-hurricane inspection before early voting opened, the Pensacola News Journal reported, and more than 10,000 Escambia and Santa Rosa residents had already cast ballots in the opening days of the period.
Voters holding a vote-by-mail ballot can still drop it off at any early voting location during Saturday's hours. After early voting ends, a mail ballot must be received in the Elections Office no later than 7 p.m. on Election Day, and it may not be returned to a polling location on Election Day itself, the Supervisor of Elections warns.
Anyone who misses Saturday votes the traditional way: at the precinct assigned to their home address on Tuesday, November 3, with polls open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. The ballot carries the county's Local Option Sales Tax renewal and Florida's Amendment 3 property tax question alongside state and federal races. Voters can view a sample ballot and verify their information at EscambiaVotes.gov.
