Early voting starts in Florida on Monday, October 24, from Monday through Sunday, November 6. There is a change this year --- Miami City Hall is not an early voting location. The closest place for Coconut Grove to vote early is the historic Vizcaya Garage. This is next to the old Museum of Science. It's an easy lot to get in and out of and it's not far from City Hall.
The Vizcaya Garage is at 3250 S. Miami Avenue. Across the street from the Vizcaya house.
Voting times every day that the early voting is available is from 7 am to 7 pm.
Other areas in the city that will hold early voting is the Arsht Center downtown, the Stephen P. Clark Government Center, Shenandoah Branch library, Carrie P. Meek Senior & Culture Center, Model City Branch Library and Lemon City Branch Library.
Another location close to the Grove is the Coral Gables Branch library. You can vote in ANY early voting location, not just one near your home.

it cannot be stressed enough - for early voting, you can vote anywhere in the county! Especially helpful if you live in North Miami and don't want to put yourself thru the trauma of using the ealy voting location in North Miami.
As I recall from the last presidential election, the areas that had the most early votes were West Dade Regional Library, North Dade Regional Library, North Miami Public Library, Model City Branch Library and Coral Gables Branch Library. I don't remember which one was the champion with the most early votes, or which ones were in second or third place, but I believe all of these were in the top performing group. Maybe some of the other readers can tell us which community is the reigning champion, and who was 2nd, and 3rd place in number of early ballots cast.
In looking at precinct sizes, we have two precincts with over 6,000 voters in them. Key Biscane Community Center (#051) with 6,583 voters in it and the 111 Building with 6,175 voters in it. There is however concern that Bowman Ashe/Doolin k-8 Academy has two large precincts located in it - #701 with 3,080 voters and #764 with 4,627 voters in it. Combined there will be 7,707 people voting at that site.
Beyond these huge ones, there are 65 precincts with between 3,000-3,999 voters in them. Given this data, early voting is critical for any kind of reasonable voting experience. People should come with patience, water, snacks, folding chairs if needed, be ready to enjoy being with old friends and neighbors, and be looking to meet new people.
Does anyone know if the counting problem has been solved with the county? Remember last time our votes were reported a week or more after the rest of the nation had selected the president.
