The Broward Supervisor of Elections is advising residents to vote in person after receiving reports of delays with mail-in ballots.
West Palm Beach Fort Pierce, FL, October 28, 2026 —
The Broward Supervisor of Elections is advising residents to vote in person after receiving reports of delays with mail-in ballots. The information provided does not specify when the reports were received or how many ballots may be affected.
No details were provided about the cause or length of the reported delays, which areas or voters are involved, or whether the office has changed its procedures for handling mail-in ballots. The information also does not identify a specific election or provide a deadline for voting.
The office’s advice, as described, is to vote in person. No further instructions were supplied about where or when residents can vote, what steps voters should take if they have already returned a mail-in ballot, or whether that ballot can still be counted. The trend summary also does not include a statement from an election official or indicate whether the office has issued additional guidance.
Because those details were not provided, the scope and practical effects of the reported delays remain unclear. The available information establishes only that the Broward Supervisor of Elections received reports of delays involving mail-in ballots and is advising residents to vote in person. It does not establish that all mailed ballots are delayed or that any ballots have been lost, rejected, or left uncounted.
