Early voting locations will now reopen Friday, January 24, operating from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. To compensate for the extended closure, officials have expanded Saturday’s hours. The final day of early voting on January 25 will now run from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., instead of the previously announced standard hours.

Updated Early Voting Schedule:

Thursday, January 23: CLOSED
Friday, January 24: 10 a.m. – 7 p.m.
Saturday, January 25: 7 a.m. – 7 p.m.

This marks the third consecutive day of closed early voting sites in Okaloosa County due to Winter Storm Enzo, following the initial shutdown on Tuesday and Wednesday.
