The Office of the Miami-Dade Supervisor of Elections will mail vote-by-mail ballots (VBM) for the Dec. 9 Municipal Elections on Monday, Nov. 17, to all voters who requested them for the Hialeah General Election and the Miami and Miami Beach Run-off Elections. The VBM ballots will be moved from the Elections Headquarters Warehouse onto a USPS truck at 10:30 a.m. and the working media is invited to see the process unfold. Following the loading of approximately 41,000 ballots, Miami-Dade’s Supervisor of Elections, the Honorable Alina Garcia, will hold a media availability and answer questions related to this process and the upcoming elections in Hialeah, Miami, and Miami Beach.
“Building the public’s trust through secure, fair, accurate, and accessible elections is my pledge,” said Supervisor Garcia. “Voting by mail is one of three convenient ways our voters can cast their votes, along with early voting and voting on election day. I also want to encourage voter participation in these elections, which is critically important, since these are for the elected leaders in the governments closest to the people.”
Mami-Dade County voters may choose to receive a vote-by-mail ballot for a specific election or for all elections in which they are eligible to vote through the next regularly scheduled general election. All vote-by-mail requests made before the 2024 general election expired on January 1, 2025. Under Florida law, VBM requests must be renewed after every regularly scheduled general election.
The U.S. Post Office will not forward your vote-by-mail ballot to a different address. If you want your vote-by-mail ballot sent to an address that’s different from the one on file with the Office of the Supervisor of Elections, you must complete a Statewide Vote-By-Mail Ballot Request Form and it must include the signature of the voter unless the voter is an absent uniformed services voter or overseas voter, or if the request is made by a designee.
The last day to request a vote-by-mail ballot for the Dec. 9 Elections is Thursday, Nov. 27. 2025. Your vote-by-mail ballot must be received by the Miami-Dade Supervisor of Elections no later than 7 p.m. on Election Day. Don’t wait! Mail it back early so we can contact you if there is a problem with your signature.
