Residents in parts of Broward County will head to the polls Tuesday, March 10, for municipal elections in two cities.
The elections will take place in Lauderhill and Pembroke Pines, where voters will decide local races, including contests in Pembroke Pines’ Districts 1 and 4.
Lauderhill voters will decide on a $65 million community-driven bond initiative, RISE Lauderhill, alongside municipal elections that will shape the city’s development priorities. The bond proposal allocates $9.5 million for public safety improvements, $34 million for parks and infrastructure, and $21.5 million for transportation and roadway projects.
In Pembroke Pines, Dennis Hinds, a 55-year-old Jamaican-American professional in banking, finance, real estate, and insurance, is seeking to become the first Caribbean-American commissioner representing District 1, which stretches from Hiatus Road past Pembroke Road to the Florida Turnpike. He is challenging incumbent Commissioner Thomas Good and former police sergeant James Henry. In District 4, Vice Mayor Mike Hernández is running for a full four-year term against community advocate Elizabeth Burns, who previously ran for mayor in 2024.
Polling stations will open from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., according to the Broward County Supervisor of Elections. Officials are reminding voters that they must cast their ballot at their assigned precinct location. Anyone already in line at their polling place by the 7:00 p.m. closing time will still be allowed to vote.
There will be no early voting for the March 10 municipal elections. However, voters who have not yet returned their vote-by-mail ballots can still deliver them to a secure ballot intake station at a Broward County Supervisor of Elections office.
To vote in person, residents must present a valid and current photo identification with a signature. Acceptable forms include a Florida driver license, Florida identification card, U.S. passport, debit or credit card, military ID, or student ID, among other forms of identification permitted under Florida law.
Voters can confirm their polling location, view their sample ballot, and access additional election information through the Broward County Supervisor of Elections website. Election updates will also be shared via the office’s social media platforms under @BrowardVotes.
