Vote-by-Mail in Miami-Dade County

Voting by Mail is Easy and Safe

Vote-by-mail ballots get sent to voters early, giving you plenty of time to research candidates. During this time of COVID-19, be sure to consider requesting your vote-by-mail ballot as a safe alternative to voting in person.

• Voting by mail is safe and easy. In preparation for the November 3, 2020 General Election, the Miami-Dade County Elections Department is taking the necessary precautions to protect the health and safety of voters during these uncertain times. Therefore, voters are encouraged to vote by mail from the safety and comfort of home. All you have to do is request a vote-by-mail ballot.
• The deadline to request your vote-by-mail ballot for the General Election is October 24th, but due to current events we suggest you request your vote-by-mail ballot on September 20th. This will give the post office ample time to mail your ballot and for you to return it.
• Need help? Call 305-499-8444. Visit the Vote-by-Mail Ballot site for more information.
• Your signature is used to validate your vote-by-mail ballot, so it is important to have your current signature on file. Read about updating your signature, then print out and mail the application. Please do this as soon as possible so your application is received before your ballot is mailed to you.
• Once your vote-by-mail ballot is completed, you can mail it to the Elections Department (postage is paid) or drop it off at any Early Voting location or Elections Department office. You can also check the status of your ballot online.
• For more information, visit the official Vote-by-Mail page.
