RESOLUTION CALLING A COUNTYWIDE SPECIAL ELECTION

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

Miami-Dade County is calling a countywide special election on November 3, 2026, to be held in conjunction with the general election. The purpose is to submit to voters a proposed amendment to the Home Rule Charter. This amendment aims to revise the process for calling elections to fill commission vacancies and establish minimum standards for municipal qualifying dates. The Charter Review Task Force recommended this change, with a vote of seven in favor and one against. The proposed amendment would allow the Board to take action on a prospective resignation to call an election that syncs with other elections and establish minimum standards for municipal qualifying dates. The resolution was sponsored by Commissioner Danielle Cohen Higgins.
