Together we can protect & defend our democracy

Our League members volunteered hundreds of hours of their time educating voters at events throughout the county, making presentations, monitoring candidate forums, distributing non-partisan voter guides, working to ensure all candidates' voices were heard via Vote411.org and writing thousands of post cards encouraging voter registration and get out the vote. AND, we also gave out gun locks and gun safety and prevention materials, attended every Solid Waste Authority meeting, monitored the school board and rallied for reproductive rights!

Our League is a 100% volunteer organization which operates out of a storage unit and our homes. We have no office and no paid employees, but we still have expenses. Will you help us on this Giving Tuesday and donate to our League? Donations

Voter turnout in Broward County: 77.04%

By Monica Elliott
Voter Services Chair

If you have been alarmed that voter turnout appears to be way below turnout for Palm Beach and Miami-Dade Counties, don't be. To have a legitimate comparison, you have to be sure you are comparing apples to apples and not apples to oranges. I spoke with Supervisor of Elections Joe Scott to determine why we were seeing a low turnout of 64.87% on the SOE website. Here is the explanation.

The official Florida Division of Elections webpage for election information is Florida Election Watch. When you go to that page, click on "County Reporting Status" and you will see a county by county breakdown. The third column in the table is labeled "Eligible Active Registered Voters."

Accompanying this article is a screen shot of the table. Voter turnout of eligible active registered voters was 77.04% in Broward County. In the same table, turnout for Miami-Dade County was 72.35% and turnout for Palm Beach County was 83.99%.

Again, the screenshot above from Florida Election Watch is showing ACTIVE registered voters.

Broward County SOE's website is using TOTAL number of eligible voters, both active and INACTIVE registered voters. An inactive voter is someone for whom undeliverable mail triggered an address confirmation final notice to which the voter did not respond within 30 days or which came back undeliverable. When that happens, the voter is designated as inactive. An inactive voter remains eligible to vote until he or she is removed from the official list of registered voters.

The SOE's website shows a lower turnout number of 64.87%, which is coming from all eligible voters.

Bottom line: If the right comparison is made for the 3-county area, we are right where we normally are (in the middle)!
