Revise council vacancy and special election procedures
Palm Coast city · November 3, 2026
The question on your ballot
Shall Article IV(7)(e) of the City Charter be amended to revise vacancy procedures? If a vacancy occurs with over 18 months remaining in a term, a special election is required within 90 days. If a vacancy occurs within 60 days or less of a General Election, a special election must be called within 90 days following that General Election.
In plain language
A VoterDecoder summary of the official measure text.
The Palm Coast Charter would change how council vacancies are filled. If a vacancy occurs with over 18 months left in a term, a special election is required within 90 days. If a vacancy occurs 60 days or less before a General Election, a special election must be called within 90 days following that General Election. A YES vote adopts these rules. A NO vote keeps the current procedures.
