The 2023 City of Miami Beach elections are nearly here, with early voting beginning October 23 and the last day to vote on November 7 (unless there is a Run-Off). This post is your Democratic Voters Guide. Bookmark it, share and check for updates periodically!

We will be voting for the following City of Miami Beach offices:

• Mayor
• City Commission, Group 4
• City Commission, Group 5
• City Commission, Group 6

We've got a great group of Democrats running for these seats: Michael Gongora, Mike Grieco, Tanya Katzoff Bhatt and Mitch Novick. Electing Democrats at the local level "builds the bench" and pays dividends towards future electoral success. We encourage you to support Dems in every election!

Vote-by-Mail

Do you like the convenience of getting your ballot in the mail? We do! We recommend you request yours ASAP which you can do at our VBM portal www.VoteFromHome.miami.

Once you get your ballot in the mail, you can cast your vote by:

• Mailing it in.
• Dropping it into the secure Drop Box at Early Voting sites during operating hours (see below).
• Dropping it off at the Elections Department.
• Voting the traditional way - in-person at your designated Election Day Polling Location on the final day of voting (Nov 7).
  • NOTE: You do not need to bring your VBM ballot to your Polling Location to vote in-person.

You can track your VBM ballot online at www.CheckMyBallot.miami.
