Election Day: All precincts are open for voting

As of 7 a.m., all voting locations in Hialeah, Homestead, Miami, Miami Beach, Sunny Isles Beach and the proposed Biscayne Gardens Incorporation area are open and welcoming voters. Almost 50,000 voters have already cast their ballot in these elections via Mail Ballot or Early Voting.

Voters who plan to vote in person today should keep the following points in mind:

• Voters are encouraged to review their customized sample ballot before heading to the polls.
• Every voter must go to their assigned voting location on Election Day, which can be found on their Voter Information Card, by going to the Elections Department website, or by calling 311.
• Polls are open until 7 p.m.
• Voters must bring a valid and current identification that contains a photo and their signature.
• Acceptable forms of ID include: Florida Driver License, Florida Identification Card issued by the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, United States Passport, Debit or Credit Card, Military Identification, Student Identification, Retirement Center Identification, Public Assistance Identification, Neighborhood Association Identification, Florida Concealed-Weapon License, Veteran Health Identification Card issued by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, or Government Issued Employee Identification.
• If the voter does not have ID available, they will be asked to vote a provisional ballot.
• While the current Voter Information Card is not required to vote, it can help expedite the check-in process, therefore, bringing it is always encouraged.
• Florida law does not allow a voter to turn in their Vote-by-Mail ballot at their assigned precinct on Election Day.

Voters that want to return their Vote-by-Mail ballot can still do so at two designated locations on Election Day:

• Miami-Dade Elections Department, 2700 NW 87th Avenue, Miami, FL 33172
• Stephen P. Clark Center, 111 NW 1st Street, Outside East Entrance, Miami, FL 33128

Ballots must be received no later than 7 p.m.

Masking and sanitizing are recommended when voting in person.
