Broward Supervisor of Elections Brenda Snipes’ office is accepting absentee ballots in person.


No need to worry about the Post Office. Supervisor of Elections Brenda Snipes’ office is accepting absentee ballots in person.
Unfortunately, Snipes has only two locations in Broward accepting the ballots.  Voters from many areas of the county will have some traveling to do.
An office spokeswoman told The Miami Herald Sunday that it will try to accommodate anyone who wants to vote in person. They can’t guarantee, however, that these offices can accommodate many voters.
Miami-Dade’s election supervisor was forced to stop in-person voting on Sunday when the office was mobbed by voters.
Here is Snipes latest news release distributed Sunday:
For Immediate Release
