Broward early voting starts Aug. 8 ahead of primary
Broward early voting opens Aug. 8 at 10 a.m. from Fort Lauderdale to Pompano Beach, and vote-by-mail requests close Aug. 6 at 5 p.m.
Broward voters can start casting early ballots at 10 a.m. Aug. 8 at county sites from the African-American Research Library in Fort Lauderdale to the Emma Lou Olson Civic Center in Pompano Beach. Early voting runs through Aug. 16 at 7 p.m., and Florida law requires a current, valid picture ID with signature.
Early-voting locations include the African-American Research Library, 2650 Sistrunk Blvd. in Fort Lauderdale; the Davie/Cooper City Branch Library, 4600 SW 82nd Ave. in Davie; the Supervisor of Elections site at E Pat Larkins Community Center, 520 Martin Luther King Blvd. in Pompano Beach; the Emma Lou Olson Civic Center, 1801 NE 6th St. in Pompano Beach; Fort Lauderdale Branch Library/ArtServe, 1350 E. Sunrise Blvd. in Fort Lauderdale; and the Hallandale Beach Cultural Community Center, 410 SE 3rd St. in Hallandale Beach. Voters may cast a ballot at any early-voting location during the period, and the county also includes secure ballot intake stations in its voting options.
The acceptable ID list is broad, but it still has to be a picture ID with a signature. Acceptable IDs include a Florida driver license, Florida ID card issued by the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, U.S. passport, debit or credit card, military ID, student ID, retirement center ID, neighborhood association ID, public assistance ID, Veteran Health ID issued by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, concealed weapon license, and employee ID card issued by a federal, state, county or municipal agency. A voter who arrives without one of those IDs risks a problem at the counter.
Vote-by-mail ballots began going out July 13 at 10 a.m., when Broward County mailed more than 90,000 domestic ballots for the Aug. 18 primary. The last day to request a vote-by-mail ballot is Aug. 6 at 5 p.m., and voters can sign up for status notifications at BrowardVotes.gov to track whether a ballot was mailed, received and accepted.
Florida’s mandatory early-voting window for the primary runs Aug. 8-15, while Broward offers an extra day through Aug. 16 from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. The state primary is Aug. 18, and the Broward office at 4650 NW 21st Ave. in Fort Lauderdale is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., excluding holidays, for voters who need help with registration or ballot status before they head to the polls.
