The Broward County Canvassing Board will meet at 10 a.m. Sept. 30 at the Broward County Supervisor of Elections Office, where it will conduct a required Logic & Accuracy (L&A) Test.<\/p>\n

The meeting and equipment test will be open to the public and media.<\/p>\n
The Canvassing Board will be chaired by Judge Melinda Brown and includes County Vice Mayor Robert McKinzie and Supervisor of Elections Joe Scott.<\/p>\n
