The city of Miami has recently attempted to change the date of elections from November 2025 to November 2026. The purpose of the change was to have the local election coincide with federal election and boost voter turnout. The change inadvertently allowed the mayor and county commissioners to have a 1-year extension to the current term. This has caused legal issues, and a mayoral candidate has sued the city stating the change was unconstitutional. Both the district court and the appeals court agreed the schedule change was unconstitutional. The city is currently exploring further appellate options. Additionally, this ruling could have further implications for other cities such as Coral Gables who have also made changes to election schedules.
