How to find your voting location
If you are a registered voter in Miami-Dade, the county has set up a page on its website where you can get personalized information, including your polling location.
If you are a registered Democrat, you will get the following message: "Our records indicate you are not eligible to vote in this election due to your current party affiliation."
The website also allows you to see your current voter information, review your current voting district, voter information (address, political party, polling location, etc.). It also allows you to request a mail-in ballot, check the status of your mail ballot, and view your customized sample ballot for the upcoming election.
You can also make changes to your voter information, check your voter activity and more.
