Supervisor of Elections Robert D. Bender announces that 890 ballots were sent out to military and overseas voters for the 2025 Special General Election. Domestic voters who have an active vote-by-mail request on file will have their ballots mailed out next week. Federal and state laws require military and overseas ballots be sent no later than 45 days prior to an election. Florida law establishes a window for mailing civilian ballots between 40 and 33 days prior to election day.
Any voter has the option to vote-by-mail. Requests must be made for each new election cycle. If you have not already made a request and wish to receive your ballot in the mail, visit EscambiaVotes.gov/vote-by-mail or call us at (850) 595-3900. The request deadline is Thursday, March 20.
The deadline to register to vote for the April 1, Special General Election is March 3, 2025. Visit EscambiaVotes.gov/register-to-vote for more information. Sample ballots are available online at EscambiaVotes.gov/sample-ballots and one will be mailed to all registered voters who have not requested a vote-by-mail ballot prior to the start of early voting. Voters with questions about their eligibility should call (850) 595-3900 or visit EscambiaVotes.gov/am-i-registered for more information.
