MIAMI —Early Voting for the August 18, 2020 Primary Election begins Monday, August 3 and runs for 14 consecutive days through Sunday, August 16 at 23 convenient locations throughout Miami-Dade County. The full list of Early Voting sites, including hours of operation and addresses can be found on the 2020 Elections Early Voting page.
Voters are reminded not to wait until Election Day to cast their ballot since they can go to any of the 23 sites throughout the Early Voting period, unlike Election Day when they must go to their assigned precinct. Wait times for all 23 sites will be posted on the Elections Department’s website and will be updated throughout the day, so voters can make an informed decision as to when and where it is most convenient for them to vote.
Voters are also encouraged to review their customized sample ballot to prepare in advance before heading to the polls.
Additionally, voters can drop off their Vote-by-Mail ballot at any Early Voting site without having to go inside the polling place. Voters can drive up to the Official Ballot Drop Box, located outside all 23 Early Voting locations, and drop their Vote-by-Mail ballot into the secure ballot box.
To ensure the health and safety of our voters and poll workers during in-person voting for 2020 amid the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the Miami-Dade County Elections Department is following the Florida Department of Health and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines. We are taking all possible precautions to keep you safe and ask that you assist us as well. The Elections Department will provide all poll workers with face shields, masks and disposable gloves. We will also regularly wipe down common touch points with disinfectant, offer hand sanitizer to all voters upon entering and exiting the voting location and mark the ground with stickers to ensure voters can adhere to social distancing protocols. Additionally, we will provide access to bathrooms that have soap and water available for hand washing. Voters are required to wear facial covering over their noses and mouths when entering and while they are inside the voting location, and they must use the hand sanitizer that is provided upon entering and exiting.
