Miami-Dade officials have held a Get Out the Vote campaign, answering questions and giving out voter information materials while also offering to register people to vote.

“We’re here to do outreach to remind everybody that we have elections, and to let them know they can early vote by mail or go on election day,” said Miami-Dade Supervisor of Elections Alina Garcia. “People need to know they can go to any early voting sites, they don’t have to go to their specific precinct. They can go between 7 a.m. and 3 p.m. (and) on the weekends from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. And next week we’ll have an evening time from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.”

She said the county is ready for any and all who wish to cast their ballots early.

“All of our equipment is out and ready to go,” said Garcia. “I want to remind everyone we do vote on paper, we don’t connect to any internet or anything. It’s very safe.”

Early voting runs through Aug. 16 in Miami-Dade.
