Broward County officials report long delays in mail-in ballot delivery

Broward County election officials have raised concerns over unusually long delays in the delivery of mail-in ballots, according to WSVN.

Residents have reported that ballots mailed locally have taken up to two weeks to arrive at election headquarters, which officials describe as unacceptable.

Broward Supervisor of Elections Joe Scott advised voters worried about their ballots arriving late to use early voting sites or vote in person on Election Day to ensure their votes count.

The U.S. Postal Service is aware of the complaints and is investigating the slow mail delivery, CBS News Miami reported.

Officials emphasized that safeguards are in place to prevent double counting of votes, reassuring voters that their participation will be accurately recorded.

A list of early voting locations across Broward County is available for those seeking alternatives to mail-in voting.
