Wet South Florida weather and long lines did nothing to stop citizens from exercising their right to vote. Voters were up well before dawn enduring rain and hot sun to make sure their votes were counted. In some cases, lines extended around the block as voters took advantage of the start of early voting.

All indications suggest a record turn-out for this year’s general election. Voters supporting President Donald Trump and Democratic nominee and former Vice President Joe Biden stood in line wearing raincoats and holding umbrellas. The early voting comes on top of a record number of vote-by-mail requests. More than 2.5 million mail-in ballots were requested in Florida prior to early voting polls even opening.

In the 2016 presidential election, 9.5 million Floridians cast their vote, including 816,000 Broward County residents. Experts expect those numbers to be significantly eclipsed in this year’s race. According to the Broward Supervisor of Elections, more than 300,000 Broward votes were cast by the end of the first day of early voting.

The increase in vote-by-mail activity is expected to offset delays caused by COVID-19 safety precautions. The vast majority of voters respected requests to wear masks and to anticipate delays while voting equipment was sterilized.

Results for the national election, along with results from local municipal campaigns are expected on election night, November 3rd.

There are 1,267,187 voters eligible to vote in Broward County this year.
