A VoterDecoder summary of the official measure text.
The North Miami Beach charter would move city general elections from November of even-numbered years to May of odd-numbered years. Candidate qualifying dates would change to match the May election schedule. Commissioners elected in 2024 and 2026 would have their terms extended by six months to align with the new schedule. The measure would also establish term start dates and authorize municipal early voting. A YES vote adopts these changes, while a NO vote keeps the current election schedule.
