Three Ways to Vote
The Miami-Dade County Supervisor of Elections offers three secure and convenient voting methods: Vote-by-Mail, Early Voting, and in-person voting on Election Day. Choose the option that works best for you.

Vote-By-Mail
Voting by mail allows you to vote from the convenience of your home.
If you are registered to vote in Miami-Dade County, you may request a Vote-by-Mail ballot online, by telephone, by mail, or in person through the Miami-Dade County Supervisor of Elections. Requests must be received by 5 p.m. on Thursday, October 22, 2026.
After receiving your ballot, carefully read and follow all instructions, complete your ballot, sign the voter’s certificate, and return your completed ballot by one of the following methods:
- Mail it using the postage-paid return envelope provided.
- Deliver it to the Miami-Dade County Supervisor of Elections Office.
- Deposit it at an authorized Secure Ballot Intake Station (Drop Box) during the Early Voting period. Secure Ballot Intake Stations are available at every Early Voting location during the Early Voting period. After the Early Voting period ends, Secure Ballot Intake Stations close, and Vote‑by‑Mail ballots can no longer be returned at those sites.
Beginning on the Monday before Election Day and on Election Day, Vote‑by‑Mail ballots may be returned only at the following Miami‑Dade County Supervisor of Elections offices:
Miami-Dade County Supervisor of Elections Office
2700 NW 87th Ave., Miami, FL 33172
