Miami-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 end of the second regularly scheduled general election. If you have questions, we hope our vote-by-mail ballot FAQs (Español) (Kreyòl) and the information below help you to answer them.

Remember, the U.S. Post Office will not forward 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 Elections Department, you must send a signed written request (English & Español form or English & Kreyòl form).
