“Say Yes” campaign to strengthen voter registration in Miami-Dade launched by Tax Collector Dariel Fernandez and Supervisor of Elections Alina Garcia

A new initiative encourages residents renewing driver licenses or IDs to easily register to vote or update their voter registration information

Miami-Dade County officials have launched the “Say Yes Campaign,” an initiative designed to strengthen voter registration and maintain accurate voter records across the region. The effort, led by Miami-Dade County Tax Collector Dariel Fernandez and Miami-Dade County Supervisor of Elections Alina Garcia, focuses on a simple step residents can take when renewing or obtaining a Florida driver license or identification card: saying “yes” when asked if they would like to register to vote or update their voter information.
The campaign reflects broader goals tied to Miami-Dade County policy, public education, and community awareness, ensuring that eligible residents have convenient opportunities to participate in the democratic process while keeping official records accurate and up to date.

A simple step toward stronger civic participation

Under Florida law, residents completing driver license or ID transactions are asked if they would like to register to vote or update their voter registration details. The “Say Yes Campaign” encourages residents to take advantage of this moment, which requires only a few seconds but helps maintain accurate voter records across South Florida.
Officials note that updates are particularly important when residents renew their licenses and receive new identification numbers. Ensuring that voter registration information matches official identification records can help improve the efficiency and accuracy of election systems.
Miami-Dade County Tax Collector Dariel Fernandez emphasized the value of collaboration in strengthening civic participation. He highlighted the partnership with the elections office as an effort to make voter registration a seamless part of everyday government services.

Maintaining accurate voter records and election integrity

Miami-Dade County Supervisor of Elections Alina Garcia emphasized that keeping voter information current is one of the most important steps toward ensuring secure and reliable elections.
By integrating voter registration opportunities into driver license and ID transactions, county officials aim to simplify the process while improving the accuracy of election databases. The initiative also reflects broader efforts across South Florida to promote community awareness, civic responsibility, and access to public services.
The campaign was officially announced during an event at a tax collector office, highlighting the ongoing cooperation between county departments working to make civic participation easier and more efficient for residents.
For Miami-Dade County residents, the message behind the campaign is simple: a quick “yes” can help ensure voter records remain accurate and accessible for future elections.
