On November 3, 2026, Lighthouse Point and Broward County voters will decide several significant races: Florida's gubernatorial election (Governor Ron DeSantis is term-limited, so this will be an open seat), one U.S. Senate seat (Senator Marco Rubio's seat is up for election in 2026), all Florida Cabinet positions including Attorney General and Chief Financial Officer, Florida State Senate District 32 and Florida House District 99 (which cover Lighthouse Point), Broward County Commission seats, Broward County School Board positions, and potentially Broward County Sheriff if that office becomes elected rather than appointed. Florida voters can request mail-in ballots (called vote-by-mail in Florida) online through the Supervisor of Elections website; requests are valid for two general election cycles and must be renewed. Vote-by-mail ballots must be received by the Supervisor of Elections office by 7:00 PM on Election Day to be counted. Early voting is available at designated locations throughout Broward County typically beginning 10 days before Election Day and running through the Sunday before the election.
