Broward voters can watch League of Women Voters candidate forums online
League of Women Voters Broward forums went live on Facebook, with WLRN livestreaming and YouTube replays to help voters size up down-ballot races.
Facebook Live candidate forums from the League of Women Voters of Broward County began Wednesday, giving Broward voters a low-friction way to hear from people running for office without leaving home. WLRN said it would livestream the League’s forums, and the League said the broadcasts could also be watched later on YouTube.
That matters in Broward County because many of the most consequential races are the ones voters know least about: state House seats, school board contests, and local municipal offices that shape day-to-day services in places such as Deerfield Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood and Plantation. The League’s public posts said the forums were aimed at Broward voters and Florida House candidates, placing housing affordability, transportation, public safety, taxes, the environment, school board oversight and county services where residents can hear candidates answer the same questions in one place.
The League of Women Voters of Broward County describes itself as a grassroots, nonpartisan voter-information group, and its online calendar shows the organization has kept a steady role in local election season. Its events listings include a Candidate Forum for Mayor and Districts 3 and 4 in Deerfield Beach on Tuesday, Feb. 25, 2025, and a Broward County School Board District 1 Candidate Forum on Wednesday, Aug. 7, 2024.
For voters, the value of the Facebook format is simple: it cuts the travel time, the parking headache and the schedule conflict out of civic participation. The League said WLRN would livestream its forums, and a League Facebook post said all Broward County election forums were live on Facebook and could be viewed later on YouTube, extending access to anyone who missed the original broadcast.
That is especially useful in a county as spread out as Broward, where a candidate forum in one city can still affect voters elsewhere because school board boundaries, county policy and state House decisions cross city lines. The League’s July forums gave residents a direct way to compare candidates on the questions that often decide local government: who should pay for services, how schools should be run and which issues belong in county halls, not just on campaign mailers.
