Early Voting To Kick Off In Broward

Follow CBSMIAMI.COM: Facebook | Twitter 

FORTLAUDERDALE (CBSMiami) -- Early voting is set to kick off in Broward County over the weekend - a little more than a week from the Florida Primary.

Starting Saturday, locals can visit any Broward voting location from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. and cast their ballot. That will run until March 13th. Click here to find early voting locations.

The voter tabulation center at the back of the Lauderhill Mall is one of 20 sites countywide where voters can voice their choice.

Voter registration has increased and so has the number of people who changed their party affiliation in preparation for the presidential primary.

Once early voting is closed off, locals will have to wait until March 15th - the day of the primary to vote.  The Florida Primary race is key for the candidates as Republicans sharpen their attacks and Democrats solidify their campaigns.

Meantime, early voting in Miami-Dade county is underway and lasts until March 13th. Click here for early voting locations.

In Monroe County, early voting is also underway and lasts until March 12th. Early voting locations will be open from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Click here to find early voting locations.

For those who want to save their voting for Election Day, make sure you know where you need to go to vote before you head to the polls on March 15th.

In Miami-Dade, Broward and Monroe County the polls will remain open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

To vote, you'll need to bring a valid ID that has your name, photograph and signature.

You can bring the following IDs:

  • Florida Driver's License

  • United States Passport
  • Debit or credit card
  • Military identification
  • Student identification

If you do not have a valid ID, you may be asked to vote using a provisional ballot. Once that happens you'll have to present written evidence showing your eligible to vote  to the Supervisor of Elections office. This has to be done no later than 5 p.m. on the second day after the election.
