2026 CHARTER AMENDMENTS (TECHNICAL CHANGES)

Board of County Commissioners · 2026-07-21 · resolution

This legislative item is a resolution calling for a countywide special election in Miami-Dade County, Florida, to be held on November 3, 2026, concurrently with the general election. The purpose of the election is to allow voters to decide on proposed amendments to the Home Rule Charter. These amendments are described as technical changes, including updating county locations to current names, allowing for additional methods of public notice and virtual participation by commissioners (when permitted by state law), and ensuring consistent stylistic conventions for numbering, gender, capitalization, and grammar. The resolution was sponsored by Danielle Cohen Higgins and was forwarded to the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) with a favorable recommendation after a scrivener's error correction. The Charter Review Task Force recommended placing these changes before the electorate.
