'Do not wait': Miami-Dade kicks off election by delivering vote-by-mail ballots

For all intents and purposes, the presidential election began Monday in Miami-Dade County.

That’s because, the supervisor of elections said, the Elections Department mailed out 260,000 vote-by-mail ballots to voters who requested them. The process has begun, which means the election has begun.

“As we all know, this is a very important election," said supervisor of elections Christina White. "You should be taking your time with this ballot, doing your research on the candidates. There’s also six constitutional questions that are all very important so you should do your research, but my advice for this election is do not wait – as soon as you get your ballot, do your research, return it to us as soon as possible. This is not an election where you want to do things at the last minute."

White reminded users of absentee ballots to sign their names inside the red box on the outside of the ballot and to leave contact information on the ballot as well. That way, she said, if the signature doesn’t match the signature they have on file, they can contact the voter and correct the situation.
