Early Voting Site Locations Map
In preparation for the November 7, 2017 City of Miami General Municipal Election for Mayor and
Commission Districts 3 and 5, a first reading ordinance regarding the establishment of early voting
sites and schedule (dates and times) has been placed on the agenda for the June 22, 2017 Miami City
Commission Meeting.
For your information, Florida Statute §101.657(e) enables municipalities to provide early voting in
municipal elections that are not held in conjunction with county or state elections. A municipality
may designate as many sites as necessary and shall conduct its activities providing that:
• Early voting sites are limited to a main or branch office of the supervisor of elections, city
hall, public library, fairground, civic center, courthouse, county commission building, stadium,
convention center, government -owned senior center, or government -owned community center;
and
• The supervisor of elections 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 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 Elections Department, has
selected the following seven (7) locations to utilize as early voting sites.

requiring a run-off election. With this in mind, the City Clerk will have the ability to reduce the
number of early voting site(s) for a run-off election accordingly.
