The election sticker in Miami-Dade County coms in three languages: English, Spanish and Creole.

Election Day for Florida’s primaries is still two weeks away. But South Florida’s 2.5 million voters who would rather not wait until Aug. 30 to cast their ballots for federal, state and local office have other options.

Early voting began Monday in Miami-Dade and runs through Aug. 28. Broward early voting begins Saturday and runs through Aug. 28.

Voters can cast their ballots at any of the open precincts in the county where they are registered. Hours vary from day to day. You can view the sample ballot for Miami-Dade County here. The one for Broward is here, for Palm Beach County here and Monroe County here.
