In-person early voting in Miami-Dade, Monroe counties for the Florida Primary gets underway Monday
MIAMI - In-person early voting in Miami-Dade and Monroe counties for the Primary Election begins Monday.
In Miami-Dade, there are 23 polling locations where voters can cast their ballots. Early voting runs through Sunday, Aug. 18.
During early voting, registered voters can go to any of the 23 sites across the county. On Election Day, voters must go to their assigned precinct. Wait times for all 23 sites will be posted on the Elections Department's website and will be updated throughout the day. Voters can decide when and where is most convenient for them.
In Monroe, there are five polling locations. Early voting will end on Saturday, Aug. 17.
Voters are urged not to wait until Election Day, Aug. 20, to cast their ballot.
Florida is a closed primary state. That means voters registered with a political party may only vote in their respective party's primary election. However, there are several non-partisan races and questions that all Miami-Dade and Monroe voters will be able to vote on, regardless of party affiliation.
Miami-Dade Voters are also encouraged to review their customized sample ballots before heading to the polls.
Those heading to the polls must have proper identification. Bring a photo ID with your signature on it. The best thing to do is bring your driver's license, passport or state identification card.
Early voting in Broward begins Saturday, Aug. 10, and runs through Aug. 18.
