Broward County, FL. (December 27, 2011) – On Tuesday, January 31, 2012, there will be a Presidential Preference Primary for all registered Republicans, as well as Municipal Elections in the cities listed below.  Since Florida is a “closed-primary” state, only persons registered as Republicans will be eligible to vote in the Republican Preference Primary.

The following Municipalities are scheduled to have elections on Monday, January 31^st, 2012

The voter registration books will close on Monday, January 3, 2012 for these upcoming elections.  Anyone turning in an application to register to vote the first time in Florida after Monday, January 3rd, will not be eligible to vote on January 31st, and will not receive a voter information card until after the election.

Anyone wishing to change his or her party for this election must do so on or before January 3, 2012.  Florida law does not permit the election office to process party changes after the books are closed.  We can accept such application requests, but party changes requests will not be processed or become effective until after the January election.
