The Santa Rosa County Supervisor of Elections would like to remind voters that Tuesday, Oct. 9th is the last day to register to vote in the 2012 general election on Tuesday, Nov. 6.
Florida law mandates that registration books close 29 days before an election. This year, due to the Columbus Day holiday, the deadline was extended. New registrations must be completed on or before the end of the close of business on Oct. 9. You may register to vote at the following locations:
