Voters in 19 precincts within Miami-Dade County will be casting their ballots at different locations than usual during the general elections scheduled for Tuesday, November 3, 2026. This temporary adjustment impacts 12 polling places, some of which serve multiple precincts.
The changes were announced by the Miami-Dade Supervisor of Elections' Office on Friday, October 30, due to ongoing construction, scheduling conflicts, and other issues that prevent the use of certain facilities. Affected voters have already been informed, and notifications have been posted at the previous sites to direct them to the new locations.
On election day, each voter must go to their designated precinct location. Unlike early voting, they cannot choose any polling station within the county.

Checking Your Voting Location
Voters can verify their assigned polling location through the official Miami-Dade voter information page. By entering the required details into the search tool, voters can view their registration, polling location, and a sample ballot.
For those impacted by these changes, the system will reflect the updated site. It is advisable to check this information before heading out, instead of going directly to the polling place used in previous elections.
Polling Hours and Early Voting Closure
On Tuesday, November 3, polling stations will operate from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., Miami time. Voters in line by 7:00 p.m. will be allowed to cast their votes.
Early voting concludes on Sunday, November 1, at 7:00 p.m. During this final day, registered voters can cast their ballots at any of the 28 designated early voting locations, without being restricted to their assigned precinct for Tuesday.
Identification Requirements and Incorrect Polling Station Procedures
To vote in person, a valid photo ID with signature is needed. Accepted forms include a Florida driver's license and a U.S. passport. If the photo ID lacks a signature, it can be paired with another accepted document that includes one, according to official voting day instructions.
Voters without the necessary identification can request a provisional ballot. The guide detailing acceptable IDs and procedures for voting in Florida is available for reference.
If you arrive at the wrong precinct, election staff will direct you to the correct one. Provisional ballots do not allow voting at any precinct; to be counted, election officials must verify your eligibility to vote at the location where you submitted it, following Miami-Dade's official procedure.
For questions about your designated polling site, the Elections Office can be reached at 305-499-8683.
