(Miami-Dade County, FL) -- Miami-Dade Elections continued serving voters today on the fourth day of early voting. While the numbers of early voters grew, from 12,024, 13,364 to 16,900 respectively, wait times decreased due to added measures taken by the Elections Department.

For shorter, more comfortable wait times, the Elections Department deployed additional voter check in equipment to busy early voting sites, began offering wait time information through 3-1-1 and on www.miamidade.gov/elections and increased line management staff. Line staffers distributed sample ballots, fans and water and offered seating to the elderly, people with disabilities and expectant mothers in an effort to make everyone as comfortable as possible.
