Redistricting Information

The county is governed by the board of county commissioners. Escambia County is divided into five districts. One county commissioner is elected from each district to serve a four-year term. Commissioners are chosen in partisan elections by voters from the districts in which they live. State law and the Florida Constitution requires that following each Census, the board must review the Census information, and if necessary, redraw district lines to make each district as equal in population as possible.
