Dear Community Partners,

 

The November 8, 2022 General Election is fast approaching.  We are proud to
once again inform you that Miami-Dade County offers voters with a qualified
disability under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) the option to
receive an accessible vote by mail ballot by email. This may further allow
voters to cast their ballot independently without the assistance of another
person. 

 

Supervisor of Elections Christina White would like to request your
assistance in disseminating this important information to your membership
and/or others who may benefit from this voting method. To participate,
voters must request this ballot.

 

How?

*	Attached is the Accessible Vote-by-Mail Electronic Ballot Request
Form (in English, Spanish and Creole). This is a PDF fillable form that will
need to be filled in, printed, signed and returned to us.
*	Or, the voter can go to
https://miamidade.electionsfl.org/vrservices/mbrs#
<https://miamidade.electionsfl.org/vrservices/mbrs>  and follow the
instructions.

 

Then What?

*	Once the request has been processed, voters will receive an email
with a link to the accessible ballot.
https://sites.omniballot.us/12086/app/home  

You are required to print your selections from the site and return the
ballot by mail. Voters participating in the program will still receive a
paper Vote-by-Mail packet. The paper ballot sent with this Vote-by-Mail
packet, will serve as a back-up to their electronic ballot, if the voter
should have an issue in printing their electronic ballot or envelope. 

 

Either way, the voter is required to enclose their ballot in the certificate
envelope, sign it, and return to the Supervisor of Elections Office by no
later than 7:00 p.m. on Election Day. 

 

The voter CANNOT electronically return their ballot to the Elections Office,
under Florida State Law. The voter can have somebody of their choosing
return their Vote-by-Mail Ballot to the Elections Office or drop off at a
Secure Intake Station at any Early Voting Site. 

 

We are excited to offer this to voters in Miami-Dade County! 

 

Community Partners, please contact the Miami-Dade County Election's
Department at soedade at miamidade.gov <mailto:soedade at miamidade.gov>  or
305.499.8509 with any questions you might have regarding this program.

 

Voters who have questions should email votebymail at miamidade.gov
<mailto:votebymail at miamidade.gov>  or call 305.499.8444.

 

Regards,

 

 

Angela Rivero

Executive Assistant to the Supervisor of Elections
