The Office of the City Clerk is requesting consideration for early voting for the general

elections, public libraries and/or city halls;
• The supervisor shall designate each early voting site by no later than the 30th day
prior to an election and shall designate an early voting area at each early voting site; and
• All early voting sites shall be open on the same days for the same amount of time
and shall allow any person in line at the closing of an early voting site to vote.
The Office of the City Clerk in coordination with the Miami -Dade County Elections
