Election officials are preparing to send out vote-by-mail ballots to hundreds of thousands of South Floridians beginning on Monday.

Morgan Rynor reports the county's election office is putting approximately 260,000 ballots in the mail on Monday.

For all intents and purposes, the presidential election began Monday in Miami-Dade County. That’s because, the supervisor of elections said, the Elections Department mailed out 260,000 vote-by-mail ballots to voters who requested them.

Election departments in Miami-Dade and Broward counties have begun mailing out thousands of Vote-by-Mail ballots this week in preparation for the 2024 Florida general election.
