Broward County Election Day Disruptions: Tech Issues, Flooded Polls
Broward County voters face technical issues and flooded polling sites on Election Day as officials work to resolve problems.

Technical issues and weather-related disruptions affected voting in Broward County on Election Day, with poll workers unable to access systems at several locations shortly after polls opened. Voters at the Sunset Lakes Community Center in Miramar arrived as early as 6:15 a.m., only to be informed that electronic problems were preventing poll workers from logging into the system.
One voter told Local 10 News that poll workers announced they were experiencing electronic issues and that technicians were working to fix them. “They have problems, electronic problems, and they can’t log into the system,” the voter said. WSVN 7News reported the problem as a systemwide issue affecting Broward polling sites for between 10 and 15 minutes after opening.
Election officials later confirmed the technical issues had been resolved and that voting had resumed, though operations remained under observation. A separate weather-related disruption forced the relocation of at least one polling place as the Paradise Village Clubhouse in Davie flooded, and voters assigned to that precinct were redirected to Tree Tops Park.
One voter told CBS Miami they were notified of the change after arriving to find the original site closed. “We’re flooded out at Paradise Village, and it was closed, and we moved over here; they notified us, so now I’m here on Election Day,” Tom Iatesta said.
The delays occurred as Broward Supervisor of Elections Joe Scott’s office had already been dealing with concerns about mail-ballot delivery delays through the U.S. Postal Service in the weeks leading up to Election Day. Scott had urged voters to cast ballots in person rather than rely on the mail, citing complaints of ballots sitting at postal facilities and slow turnaround times.
This morning while trying to vote in Broward county.
Florida requires mail ballots to arrive by 7 p.m. on Election Day to be counted. Officials have said the registration-system issues have been fixed and voting has resumed.
🚨 BROWARD COUNTY: The issue causing delays is FIXED.
Polls remain open until 7 p.m., and anyone in line by closing time is entitled to vote.
The official RNC Election Integrity account responded on X by stating, “RNC observers are on the ground, and we remain in contact with the Supervisor of Elections to protect the vote.”
