The Miami-Dade County Supervisor of Elections and the Miami-Dade County Tax Collector’s Office will launch a joint initiative Monday aimed at strengthening voter registration and maintaining accurate election records.
The campaign will be announced March 16 at 10 a.m. at the Midway Crossings Tax Collector’s Office.
As part of the initiative, Alina Garcia and Dariel Fernandez will unveil an awareness campaign encouraging eligible residents who obtain or renew a Florida driver’s license or identification card to say “yes” when asked if they want to register to vote or update their voter registration information.
Under Florida law, employees at tax collector offices must ask customers completing these transactions whether they wish to register or update their voter information. Officials say the process takes only a few seconds and helps ensure voter records remain accurate, particularly as new driver’s license numbers are issued during renewals.
Garcia said maintaining accurate voter records is key to election integrity.
“Maintaining accurate voter records is one of the most important ways we strengthen election integrity,” Garcia said. “When residents renew their driver license or ID, saying ‘yes’ to registering or updating their information takes just moments and helps ensure our elections remain secure, precise, and convenient for every voter.”
Fernandez said the partnership is designed to make civic participation easier while ensuring election systems remain reliable.
“By making voter registration part of our quick and efficient process, we make civic participation easier while ensuring our systems remain accurate and reliable,” Fernandez said.
Officials say the initiative reflects both offices’ commitment to secure, accessible and accurate elections while streamlining opportunities for residents to register or update their voting information.
