Those who registered to vote by July 22, 2024, are eligible to participate in this critical election. Polling stations will be open from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. on Election Day, and voters are reminded to vote at their designated precincts. Election Day precincts can be found here.

To ensure a smooth voting experience, the Broward County Supervisor of Elections has issued several important reminders for the Primary Election:

  • ID Requirements: Florida law mandates that voters present a valid photo ID with a signature at the polling place. A complete list of acceptable forms of identification is available on the BrowardVotes.Gov website. IDs must be current and cannot be expired.
  • Vote-By-Mail Ballots: Voters who prefer to vote by mail can find drop-off locations on the BrowardVotes.Gov website.
  • Polling Locations: While the voter information card is not required to vote, it is a useful resource for determining your polling location and districts. Voters who have recently moved must vote in their new home precinct.
  • Provisional Ballots: Voters without the required ID will be asked to vote using a provisional ballot. These ballots are counted once the voter’s registration and eligibility are confirmed.
  • Switching from Vote-By-Mail to In-Person Voting: Voters who requested a Vote-By-Mail ballot but decide to vote in person can bring the mail-in ballot to the polling place, where it will be canceled, and a new in-person ballot will be issued.

Election results, including those from Vote-By-Mail, Early Voting, and Election Day ballots, will begin streaming on the BrowardVotes.Gov website starting at 7:00 p.m. on election night. Results will be updated frequently until all precincts have reported.
