The question on your ballot

Shall Section 4.3 of the City Charter be amended to clarify candidate qualifying requirements as to legal residence in the City by specifying that legal residence shall be defined as identical and equivalent to domicile?

In plain language

A VoterDecoder summary of the official measure text.

The North Miami Beach charter would define legal residence for candidates. Legal residence would be the same as domicile. This would make the residency rule in Section 4.3 clearer. A YES vote adopts this definition. A NO vote keeps the charter without it.
