Election officials said over 230,000 vote-by-mail ballots for the Nov. 5, 2024, general election will be mailed to Broward County voters on Tuesday.
Voters who want to vote by mail must request a ballot no later than Oct. 24, 2024 by visiting www.BrowardVotes.gov.
Vote-by-mail ballots have pre-paid postage on their return envelopes, so affixing a stamp is unnecessary.
Voters returning their ballots by mail should do so as soon as possible. Ballots must be received—not postmarked—by 7 p.m. on Nov. 5, 2024.
Here are some other deadlines to remember:
– The registration deadline to vote is Monday, Oct. 7, 2024.
– Early voting will take place Oct. 21 through Nov. 3, 2024, daily from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
– Voting on election day will take place Tuesday, Nov. 5, 2024, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
– There will be over two dozen locations where voters can drop off their ballots during early voting, election officials said.
Once early voting ends, voters can deliver their ballots to any of the nine Broward County Supervisor of Elections offices until 7 p.m. on Nov. 4 and 5. Visit www.BrowardVotes.gov for the office locations.
“Voting by mail is a smooth and seamless process and is one of the most convenient ways to vote. I encourage all eligible Broward County voters to take advantage of the opportunities our State offers to them in terms of how and where they choose to vote,” Broward Supervisor of Elections Joe Scott said in a written statement.
Voters are also encouraged to visit www.BrowardVotes.gov to sign up for status notifications about their vote-by-mail ballots. Once they are signed up, they will receive notifications when their ballot has been mailed, received, and counted. They will also be alerted if there are any issues with their ballot.
Parkland voters will be casting ballots in two city commission races.
Neil Kanterman, a medical doctor who co-owns Parkland’s CrossFit facility with his wife, Andrea, is expected to win Commission Seat 4 as an unopposed candidate. Longtime community leader Golden Johansson suspended her campaign for the seat in May, citing health challenges.
Commission Seat 4 is currently held by Bob Mayersohn, who is term-limited.
Candidates Howard Berger and Cynthia Murphy-Salomone are running for Commission Seat 3.
Berger was originally elected to the Lauderhill City Commission in 1984 and served in that role through 1990. He was elected again in 2004. Voters subsequently reelected him in 2008, 2012, and 2016. He was term-limited and ineligible to run in 2020.
Murphy-Salomone, an attorney, currently serves as the managing legal product director for Travelers Insurance. Before that she worked for Progressive for 19 years, according to her LinkedIn page.
Commission Seat 3 is currently held by Ken Cutler, who is term-limited.
