The Broward Young Democrats are thrilled to endorse the following candidates for the 2026 Primary Elections.
The Broward Young Democrats may endorse candidates in various elections within Broward County boundaries such as municipal, county, and state races.
In some cases, BYD may award "Candidate Distinctions" to one or multiple candidates in the same race, giving recommendation of the candidate for their positive attributes and history supporting young democrats without explicitly endorsing them.
Endorsement Voting Rules:
Eligible voting members will be able to cast a vote in each race (via QR code link at the meeting).
Eligible voting members must be a Student or Standard BYD Member (age 14-40). Young at Heart BYD Members are not eligible to vote.
Elections shall be determined by a voting system of 50%+1, where a candidate must achieve 50%+1 of votes cast in order to win the endorsement.
In races with three or more candidates, if no candidate attains 50%+1 of the votes in the first round of voting, there will be a runoff between the top two candidates in that race.
In races where candidates are unopposed, they must obtain 50%+1 of the votes to achieve an endorsement (uncommitted option will be available).
In races where the results between two candidates are within 5% of each other and both candidates are of standard BYD age and BYD members, the membership will have the option to dual endorse.
Eligible BYD Members wishing to vote must sign up or renew annual membership dues no later than two weeks before an endorsement vote.
