The Escambia County Supervisor of Elections Office will be open extended hours – until 7:00 p.m. – on Monday, July 16 to accommodate citizens who wish to register to vote or change party affiliation for the upcoming Primary Election. July 16 is the last day to register or change parties before the August 14, 2012 election.
Florida law mandates that registration books close 29 days before an election.
