To ensure the health and safety of voters and poll workers during in-person voting for 2020 amid the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the Miami-Dade County Elections Department is following all Florida Department of Health and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines.

The Elections Department will be taking all possible precautions to keep voters safe and ask that you assist us as well.

The Elections Department will provide all poll workers with face shields, masks and disposable gloves. They will also regularly wipe down common touch points with disinfectant, offer hand sanitizer to all voters upon entering and exiting the voting location and mark the ground with stickers to ensure voters can adhere to social distancing protocols.

Additionally, they will provide access to bathrooms that have soap and water available for hand washing. Voters are required to wear facial coverings at all times, and they must use the hand sanitizer that is provided upon entering and exiting.
