MIAMI-DADE ( July 09, 2024 )– The Miami-Dade County International Trade Consortium (ITC) coordinated a strategic meeting between the European Union (EU) Consular Corps of Miami and the Miami-Dade County Elections Department. The meeting aimed to strengthen communication and collaboration between the two groups, fostering a deeper understanding of electoral processes and addressing key issues related to voter participation, international relations, and the role of consular services in Miami-Dade’s diverse electorate.
The session provided an invaluable opportunity for the EU Consular Corps to engage directly with the Miami-Dade Elections Department team, led by Christina White, Supervisor of Elections, and Roberto Rodríguez, Deputy Supervisor of Elections. Discussions focused on enhancing outreach efforts, improving voter education, and ensuring seamless collaboration between consular offices and the Elections Department, particularly with regard to citizens residing abroad and those requiring specific consular assistance during election periods.
The meeting also underscored Miami-Dade’s unique position as a global hub, with a large international population that includes a significant number of European Union citizens. With elections becoming increasingly complex in a globalized world, ensuring that consular representatives are well-informed and equipped to assist their constituents during election periods is essential for maximizing voter turnout and fostering civic engagement.
