FT. LAUDERDALE – Broward County Supervisor of Elections Dr. Brenda C. Snipes announced her office will begin mailing out 570,000 sample ballots to registered voters throughout Broward County for the primary election, scheduled for Tuesday, August 26, 7 a.m. – 7 p.m.
The sample ballot information will include information on early voting sites, which open August 11 through August 24.
In the primary election, voters will receive a double-sided paper ballot. Voters will be required to have a picture identification card (with signature) when preparing to vote. Acceptable identification includes a Florida driver’s license, Florida ID card, U. S. passport or debit/credit card, etc.
Voters will be asked to fill in the ovals on the ballot for the candidate or issue of their choice with a pen provided at the polling location. The ballots are then inserted in a DS 200 Optical Scanner, providing a paper trail for all ballots cast.
On August 1, the Supervisor of Elections will also begin sending out absentee ballots, requested earlier by Broward County voters. Voters unable to vote on election day or at an early voting location, can still request an absentee ballot online at www.browardsoe.org or call the Absentee Ballot Request Line at 954-357-7055. Only the voter or a designated member of his or her immediate family can request an absentee ballot.
