Election Day Is Tomorrow: What Miami Gardens Voters Need to Know
Polls open at 7:00 a.m. on Tuesday, November 3.
Early voting is over, and Election Day is tomorrow, Tuesday, November 3. If you haven't voted yet, here is everything Miami Gardens voters need to know to cast a ballot quickly and confidently.
When: Tuesday, November 3, 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. If you are in line by 7:00 p.m., you can vote. Where: Your assigned polling place only. Bring: A current photo ID with your signature. Mail ballots: Must be received by 7:00 p.m. Tuesday.
Go to your assigned polling place
Unlike early voting, you can't vote at any site on Election Day. You must go to the polling place assigned to your home address. Find it on your voter information card or through the Miami-Dade County Elections Department before you leave.
Bring the right ID
Bring a current photo ID that includes your signature, such as a Florida driver license or Florida ID card. If your photo ID has no signature, bring a second ID that does.
If you have a mail ballot
Mail ballots must be received by the Elections Department by 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Postmarks don't count, so it is too late to safely mail one now. Contact the Elections Department for in-person drop-off options on Election Day. If you requested a mail ballot but want to vote in person instead, bring the mail ballot with you to your polling place.

Miami Gardens voters will see federal, state, and county races, plus:
