🗳️ Because every voice deserves to be heard.
On October 9, Lighthouse of Broward hosted our 2nd Electoral Forum at the Village Civic Center in Sunrise, bringing together more than 75 blind and visually impaired voters and over 12 candidates, with an additional candidate joining virtually.
Candidates for U.S. Congress, the Florida Legislature, city commissions, school board, and judicial seats had the opportunity to speak directly with our community about the issues that matter.
One of the highlights? 👏 The Broward County Supervisor of Elections Office demonstrated accessible voting equipment, giving participants hands-on experience with tools designed to help them cast their ballots independently and confidently.
Accessibility doesn’t stop at buildings, websites, or transportation. It includes the ballot box.
People with disabilities deserve equal access to elections, candidates, information, and every opportunity to help shape the communities they call home.
💜 Thank you to every candidate, participant, election official, and community member who helped make this important conversation possible.
Your vote matters. Your voice matters. YOU matter. 🗳️
