Are you registered to vote?

Let’s start with the basics, are you registered to vote? Do you know where your voting location is? Do you need a mail-in ballot? 

Checking if you’re already registered to vote is quick and easy by going to the State of Florida Voter Lookup | Search. If you’re not registered, don’t fret, the deadline to register for the 2024 General Election is October 7, 2024.

The Voter Information portion of the Miami-Dade County website will give you all the information you need to find your polling location, request a mail-in ballot should you need one, and very importantly, your sample ballot so you can go into Election Day informed and ready to rock the vote. This election resource is a must for all new and veteran voters!

Making educated decisions at the polls is just as important as getting out to vote in the first place! But where can you start? Vote 411, funded by the League of Women Voters, is a nonpartisan informational website that allows you to access a personalized ballot. Their website clarifies the sometimes wordy and confusing language of amendments with a summary, as well as naming what organizations are for and against the amendments. All responses come directly from the candidates and are unedited by the LWV. The League of Women Voters states that they do not support or oppose any candidates or parties.

Our Duty to Vote

Every election is an important one, be it local or national, and each and every vote is meaningful. So it is imperative for our future and the future of our children to set a good example and vote. We can include our children this election season and teach them how to be an informed voter, take them with us on Election Day to see our democracy in action, let them have our sticker, and show them how exciting having a voice is!
