Deerfield Beach voters are asked whether city commission elections should move from March of odd-numbered years to November of even-numbered years, beginning November 2028. The question says the change aims to increase voter participation and decrease election costs. Current commissioners and the mayor would have terms extended by approximately 20 months to keep the terms staggered. No elections would be held in March 2027 or March 2029, and all future terms would remain four years. A YES vote makes this change. A NO vote keeps the March election schedule.
