Early voting for the December 9 Municipal Runoff Elections kicks off Friday, Dec. 5 in Hialeah, Miami, and Miami Beach.
The elections follow contests where no candidate secured more than 50% during the General Election. The Miami‑Dade Supervisor of Elections Headquarters in Doral will also open its doors during Early Voting hours to support voters.
“Early voting is one of three convenient and secure ways to vote in Miami-Dade, along with voting by mail and voting in person on Election Day,” said Alina Garcia. “Remember, your voice is your vote. Runoff elections are just as important as all the others, so make sure you cast your ballot to elect your municipal officials. These sites are open for the runoff election in Miami, Miami Beach, and Hialeah.”
