The question on your ballot
Shall the Town Charter be amended so that: (1) if in a general election no candidate receives more than fifty percent of the votes, a runoff between the top two candidates shall be held the second Tuesday of December; (2) the 21-day runoff provision is repealed; and (3) the Council shall hold no meetings between election and swearing-in except for emergencies?
In plain language
A VoterDecoder summary of the official measure text.
The Miami Lakes charter would change how general elections are decided. If no candidate receives more than fifty percent of the votes, a runoff between the top two candidates would be held on the second Tuesday of December. The 21-day runoff provision would be repealed. The Council would also hold no meetings between the election and swearing-in, except for emergencies. A YES vote adopts these changes, while a NO vote keeps the current rules.
