Section 101.657(1)(d), Florida Statutes, which governs Earty Voting, requires that each
County's Supervisor of Elections commence early voting on the 10th day before an election that
contains State or Federal races and end on the 3rd day before the election; providing earty
voting for no less than 8 hours and no more than 12 hours per day at each site during the
applicable period. In addition, early voting may be offered at the discretion of the Supervisor of
Elections on the 15th, 14th, 13th, 12th, 11th, or 2nd day before an election that contains State or
Federal races for at least 8 hours per day, but not more than 12 hours per day.
Inasmuch as Florida's Election Code states that municipalities may provide early voting only in
municipal elections that are not held in conjunction with County or State elections, the County will
be responsible for conducting the early voting activities related to the City's Special Election on
November 3, 2020. Accordingly, the Miami-Dade County Supervisor of Elections has
designated the following early voting schedule for the November 3, 2020 City Special Election,
and has designated Miami Beach City Hall, 1700 Convention Center Drive, and the North Shore
Branch Library, 7501 Collins Avenue, as the early voting locations within the City of Miami
