The Broward County Supervisor of Elections will begin mailing more than 1,800 domestic Vote-By-Mail (VBM) ballots on Thursday, January 30, ahead of the March 11, 2025, municipal elections.
Residents in Coconut Creek, Deerfield Beach, Miramar, Pembroke Pines, and Sea Ranch Lakes will have the opportunity to vote in their local elections. However, the Town of Hillsboro Beach will not appear on the ballot, as its candidates ran unopposed.
Each of Broward County’s 31 municipalities operates under a governing charter, which outlines the term lengths and election schedules for local officials. While some cities still hold stand-alone elections in March, others have shifted to the General Election cycle in even-numbered years to consolidate costs. Municipalities can adjust their election dates through special legislation.
Voters must be registered for at least 29 days before they can vote in an election.
Voters opting to cast their ballots by mail must ensure they sign the Vote-By-Mail Ballot Voter Certificate on the return envelope. The deadline to request a VBM ballot is February 27 at 5:00 p.m. Ballots must be received—not postmarked—by 7:00 p.m. on Election Day, March 11. Voters can return their ballots via pre-paid mail or drop them off at a secure ballot intake station at any Supervisor of Elections office before the deadline.
Under Florida election laws, Vote-By-Mail requests remain valid only through the next regularly scheduled general election year. Those wishing to receive mail ballots for elections through 2026 must submit a new request starting January 1, 2025.
Key deadlines for the upcoming election include:
- February 10, 2025 – Deadline to register as a new voter
- February 27, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. – The deadline to request that a vote-by-mail ballot be mailed is no later than 5:00 p.m. (local time) on the 12th day before the election.
- March 11, 2025 – Election Day; polls open from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
There will be no early voting for these municipal elections.
