The Okaloosa County Supervisor of Elections Office announced all early voting locations and election offices will close January 21-22 as Winter Storm Enzo approaches the area.

The closures affect:

  • All early voting sites in Okaloosa County
  • Main elections office locations
  • All election-related operations

Operations are scheduled to resume Thursday, January 23 at 7 a.m.

Despite the two-day closure, the elections office will maintain its plan for longer voting hours when sites reopen. Voters can cast ballots from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on January 23-24. Early voting concludes January 25, when polling places will operate during regular hours from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
