Fort Lauderdale has elected its first openly gay mayor.

Hallandale Beach is getting closer to having a full government.

And one city now has money for public safety and parks projects. 

These were among the decisions Broward voters made in six city elections on Tuesday: Hallandale Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Lauderdale-by-the Sea, Pembroke Pines, Coral Springs and Pompano Beach. In the first four cities, voters chose mayors or commissioners. In Coral Springs and Pompano Beach, they voted on citywide referendums.
