Registration must occur at least 29 days before an election, and voters need to provide a Florida driver license number, Florida ID card number, or the last four digits of their Social Security number. Same-day registration is not available. Municipal elections for Mayor and City Commission seats - five commissioners representing geographic districts - take place on a non-partisan basis, typically in March of odd-numbered years. The next municipal election is scheduled for March 2025. Both mayoral and commission terms run three years, with commissioners serving on staggered schedules. Candidate qualification information, local ballot measures, and campaign finance reports for municipal candidates are available through the Broward Supervisor of Elections website and the City Clerk's office at Pompano Beach City Hall (100 West Atlantic Boulevard, phone: 954-786-4611). Residents can find their assigned polling place using the "Find My Precinct" tool on the Broward Supervisor of Elections website by entering their residential address. The system displays precinct numbers, polling location addresses, sample ballots, and election district information. Early voting is offered at multiple locations throughout Broward County, typically for 10-14 days before each election including weekends, with extended hours. Florida law designates voter registration lists and precinct-level election results as public records available through the Supervisor of Elections. Campaign finance reports for candidates and political committees are filed with the Florida Division of Elections and searchable online through the Florida Campaign Finance Database. Broward County saw turnout in the November 2024 presidential election, with approximately 68% of registered voters casting ballots, reflecting strong engagement in the closely-watched Florida races. Looking ahead to November 3, 2026, voters will decide several significant races: all of Florida's U.S. House seats (Florida's 20th and 23rd Congressional Districts cover parts of the city), Florida Governor (Ron DeSantis is term-limited; the 2026 race will be open), Florida Cabinet positions including Attorney General and Chief Financial Officer, all 40 Florida Senate seats (every four years), all 120 Florida House seats, Broward County Commission seats (Districts 2, 4, 6, and 8 are up in 2026), Broward County constitutional offices including Sheriff, Property Appraiser, Supervisor of Elections, Tax Collector, and Clerk of Courts, Broward County School Board seats, and potentially municipal offices if the election cycle aligns. Florida voters can request vote-by-mail ballots (formerly called absentee ballots) through the Broward Supervisor of Elections website, by phone, in writing, or in person. Vote-by-mail ballot requests are valid through the end of the calendar year of the second subsequent general election (roughly two election cycles). Ballots are mailed beginning 40 days before Election Day and must be received by the Supervisor of Elections office by 7:00 PM on Election Day to be counted (postmarks do not count). Ballot tracking is available through the Broward SOE website, allowing voters to confirm their ballot was received and accepted.
