In Broward County, 314,113 people voted in person, while 141,073 did so via mail, state data show. The figures come from state voting records and show Democrats outpaced Republicans in early voting. That context matters as voters head to the polls today. Axios Miami reported totals. State data separate in-person votes from returned mail ballots. Those totals provide context for voter operations on Election Day. Turning to local elections, the Broward County Supervisor of Elections says Election Day is today, and polls will be open today from 7 in the morning to 7 in the evening. The office also reminds voters to check their assigned polling places and to follow instructions for returning vote-by-mail ballots. The office also provides voter-information guidance on assigned polling places.
