Miami city commissioners voted in late June 2025 to postpone the municipal elections originally scheduled for November 2025 to November 2026. The decision, which aims to align city elections with even-year midterm and presidential elections, has faced opposition from Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, the state attorney general, and various community members. Officials were warned not to delay the election without voter approval. A Miami resident has filed a lawsuit challenging the ordinance as unconstitutional, while a former city manager also sued the city, alleging that the postponement unlawfully blocks his mayoral candidacy. The move has sparked public outrage and efforts to reverse the decision, with critics describing it as an example of dysfunction within Miami city hall.
