Fort Lauderdale city · November 3, 2026
The question on your ballot
Should the City of Fort Lauderdale Charter be amended so that special meetings of the City Commission may be called upon at least seventy-two hours' notice, except that in the event of an emergency, where there is the potential for imminent harm or the ability to lessen or avert a catastrophe, a special meeting of the City Commission may be called upon such notice as is practicable under the circumstances?
In plain language
A VoterDecoder summary of the official measure text.
This Fort Lauderdale charter amendment would let special City Commission meetings be called with at least seventy-two hours' notice. In an emergency, a special meeting could be called with whatever notice is practical. An emergency means a chance of imminent harm, or a chance to lessen or avoid a catastrophe. A YES vote adopts these notice rules, while a NO vote keeps the current rules for calling special meetings.
