The question on your ballot
Shall the Charter be amended to allow the Board to align the timing of special elections to fill vacancies in the offices of Mayor or County Commissioner with other scheduled elections when such vacancies are caused by resignations to run for other offices, and to establish minimum standards for municipal candidate qualifying periods?
In plain language
A VoterDecoder summary of the official measure text.
The Miami-Dade charter would let the Board align special elections with other scheduled elections. These special elections fill vacancies in the offices of Mayor or County Commissioner. This applies when the vacancy comes from a resignation to run for another office. The charter would also set minimum standards for municipal candidate qualifying periods. A YES vote gives the Board this power. A NO vote does not add it to the charter.
