A VoterDecoder summary of the official measure text.
The Miami Lakes charter would reduce the Town Council from six Councilmembers to four. Seat 5 would be elected to a two-year term in 2028, after which the seat would be abolished in 2030. Seat 6 would be abolished when its term expires in 2030, with no further election for that seat. The measure also updates the proportional voting thresholds for Councilmembers.
