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.

  • Voting by mail is safe and easy. 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 approximately two weeks prior to the election, but we suggest you request your vote-by-mail ballot as early as possible (1-2 months in advance if you can). 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.
