Miami-Dade County is holding a countywide special election on November 3, 2026, to allow voters to decide on amending the Home Rule Charter. The proposed amendment aims to revise the process for calling elections to fill commission vacancies and establish minimum standards for municipal qualifying dates. The resolution was introduced on June 26, 2026, and is scheduled for the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) agenda on July 21, 2026. The Policy Council forwarded the resolution to the BCC with a favorable recommendation on July 13, 2026, after correcting a scrivener's error. Commissioner Danielle Cohen Higgins is the prime sponsor. The Charter Review Task Force recommended placing these changes before the electorate.
