Early voting begins this morning in what might be the most important midterm election of our lives.

With Florida's environment hanging in the balance and the majority on the line in not only the state Senate but also U.S. Congress, this year will likely be historic. Not only that, but a proposed change to the state constitution could forever substantially rebalance the state's voting landscape, where one in five black voters can't cast a ballot largely because of drug convictions.

In Miami-Dade County, polls are open Monday, October 22, through Sunday, November 4, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. The county has created a website where you can check waiting times. In 2016, Florida led all states in early voting, according to the Miami Herald. You can also review a sample ballot before heading to the polls.

Here's a list of all Miami-Dade voting sites. (Broward County sites are open the same hours and can be found here.)
