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

Miami-Dade County is holding a countywide special election on November 3, 2026, coinciding with the general election, to vote on a proposed amendment to the Home Rule Charter. The amendment addresses the reestablishment of elected County Constitutional Offices (Sheriff, Tax Collector, Property Appraiser, Supervisor of Elections), clarifies duties of the Clerk and County regarding finance and budget, and requires County employees to take a leave of absence when running for an elected Constitutional Office. The Charter Review Task Force recommended this amendment with a vote of ten in favor and zero against. The resolution was introduced on 7/14/2026 and forwarded to the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) with a favorable recommendation after a minor correction. The final action is pending.
