Election Day In Miami: When, Where To Vote

MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, FL — Now that early voting has ended, Miami-area voters head to the polls Nov. 3. Here’s everything you need to know about voting on Election Day in Miami-Dade County.

How to Vote

When voting in person on Election Day, voters must bring a current and valid ID with their name, photo and signature. Acceptable IDs include a Florida driver’s license, a Florida ID card issued by the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, a United States passport, a debit or credit card, military ID or a student ID. Find a full list of acceptable IDs here.

It’s important to remember that while your voter information card has lots of useful information about your voter registration, including your assigned precinct and polling location for Election Day, it isn’t an acceptable form of ID.

If you’re not certain where you should vote, you can look up your voting precinct online here. For your vote to count, you must vote in the precinct in which you reside. Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Election Day.

Vote-by-mail ballots must be received by 7 p.m. on Election Day. Though it’s too late to return your vote-by-mail ballot using the U.S. Postal Service, you can still drop off your mail-in ballot at the following locations on Election Day:

• Elections Department Main Office: 2700 NW 87th Avenue Miami, FL 33172
• North Dade Regional Library: 2455 NW 183rd Street Miami Gardens, FL 33056
• Stephen P. Clark Center: 111 NW 1st Street, Lobby Miami, FL 33128
• South Dade Regional Library: 10750 SW 211th Street, Cutler Bay, FL 33189

Remember to sign your ballot and make sure that your signatures matches the one you have on file with the elections office.

If you’ve requested a mail-in ballot, but would rather vote in person, you still can. Simply bring your ballot (marked or unmarked) to your polling location to turn it in. Then, you can vote using a regular ballot.

If you don’t bring your vote-by-mail ballot with you, the Supervisor of Elections’ office will need to confirm that your ballot hasn’t already been submitted and counted. If they determine it has been received, then you won’t be able to vote again. If you think the office is incorrect or if it can’t be determined if your mail-in ballot was received, you can request a provisional ballot.

If you’ve already voted by mail, check the status of your ballot online here.
