Lauderdale-by-the-Sea: follow state law on elections, notices, audits
Lauderdale-by-the-Sea town · November 3, 2026
The question on your ballot
The proposed amendment would promote consistency with state law by providing that all general laws of the State of Florida governing municipal elections apply to the Town, aligning the deadline for the Town’s annual financial audit with the deadline in state law, and allowing legal notices to be published on publicly accessible websites as provided in state law. Shall the Town Charter incorporate Florida laws governing municipal elections, public notices, and audits?
In plain language
A VoterDecoder summary of the official measure text.
This amendment would make the Lauderdale-by-the-Sea town charter follow Florida law in three areas. All general state laws on municipal elections would apply to the town. The deadline for the town's yearly financial audit would match the deadline in state law. Legal notices could be published on public websites as state law allows. A YES vote adds these rules to the charter, while a NO vote does not.
