Supervisor of Elections David H. Stafford announced today that sample ballots for the March 17 Presidential Preference Primary Election are being mailed to Escambia County voters. The sample ballot, in both English and Spanish, includes a ballot image, the voter’s polling location and information on the three ways to vote: early, vote-by-mail, and on Election Day. A sample ballot is also available at EscambiaVotes.com.
Voters have three different ways to cast their ballot:

Requests must include the voter’s date of birth and the address, and must be received no later than Saturday, March 7. Voted ballots must be received in the Elections Office no later than 7 p.m. on Election Day and may not be returned to a polling location on Election Day.
