You cannot drop off your ballot at your precinct on Election Day.

Please remember to sign inside the red box on the back of the vote by mail envelope. Failure to include a signature may result in having your ballot not counted.

They are taking all possible precautions to keep you safe and ask that you assist them 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 handwashing.

In addition, BRAFF Miami provides a business environment with extraordinary economic potential for the Brazilian audiovisual production industry.
