• Polls are open from 7am to 7pm.

• Unlike during Early Voting, when voters can choose any location, on Election Day voters must vote at their assigned polling place, which is listed on their voter information card. Any voter who is unsure of where to vote should call 3-1-1 or check the Miami-Dade Elections Department website for this information.

• Voters must provide identification that contains both a photo and signature in order to vote. Acceptable forms of ID include driver's license, ID card issued by the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, United States passport,  military or student ID card, and retirement center or neighborhood association ID card. If the picture identification does not contain a signature, an additional identification with a signature will be required. If acceptable identification is not available, voters will be asked to vote a provisional ballot. Voters are also always encouraged to bring their voter information card issued by the Elections Department to facilitate the process, but is not required in order to vote.

The Elections Department will have staff on hand to assist voters with any questions or issues that may arise. Voters should call 3-1-1 or visit www.miamidade.gov for more information.

Editor's Note:

• As always, media are not permitted inside the actual polling room during voting hours. The poll opening (prior to 7am) and closing (after the last voter in line at 7pm has voted) procedures are a public process, and the public and media may be present inside the polling room during those times as long as they do not interfere with the process.  If interviewing voters, reporters must remain at least 75 feet from the polling place.

• The Elections Department will attempt to accommodate all media requests to the extent permitted by state law. Media members should contact the public information officers listed at the top of this release with any such requests.

• Election results will be available on Miami-Dade TV (check local cable listings) and at www.miamidade.gov/elections. The website will always have the most up-to-date information available. However, media who wish to be present at the Elections Department for visual purposes will have access to the Department's media room at 2700 NW 87th Avenue in Doral. Media parking will be available on the south side of the facility, and the adjacent media entrance will be staffed. Media should bring credentials for entry.

• The media room will have a limited number of computers and telephones available for journalists' use. Additionally, a limited number of analog phone lines will be available for journalists who wish to access the internet with laptop computers.

• As in the past, television stations that wish to do live shots from the media room may do so. Miami-Dade TV personnel will be present to assist engineers with the mult boxes that allow them to patch from the outside of the building into the media room. The media room has a clear glass wall with a full view of the tabulation room.
