At the end of the candidate qualifying period, which took place from January 5 through January 12, Commissioner Rebecca (Becky) Tooley (District A) and Commissioner Louis Sarbone (District D) were re-elected unopposed for a four-year term of office ending in March 2019.
However, an election will be held on Tuesday, March 10, 2015, to fill the remaining term of office for the vacant commission seat in District E. The two candidates who qualified for District E are: Steve Thomas Harrison and Joshua David Rydell.
Voting in the city is at large, which means that all qualified voters of the city whose names appear in the Broward County Supervisor of Elections registration books are eligible to vote. The last day to register to vote for the election is February 9.
