Hazardous road conditions from Winter Storm Enzo have forced the Okaloosa County Supervisor of Elections Office to extend the closure of early voting sites through Thursday, January 23.

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.
