South Florida voters will head to the polls as early as 7 AM today to cast their ballots in the state’s Primary Election.
“I am anticipating in-person turnout will be lower than usual, but I am expecting the turnout overall to be a little bit higher than usual, primarily attributable to the local elections, which are hotly contested,” said Broward’s Supervisor of Elections Peter Antonacci.
While COVID-19 is still a threat in the state, especially in South Florida- still ground zero, safety protocols have been established for all election workers to protect themselves and residents.
“Our poll workers have been provided with wear face masks, face shields, and gloves. They will be wiping down all the common touchpoints throughout the day. It’s important that our voters know a mask is required to enter the polling locations,” said Miami-Dade Supervisor of Elections Christina White.
