Miami commissioners have voted to place a proposed county charter revision on the November 3 ballot. The revision aims to change the process for filling commission vacancies and set minimum standards for municipal qualifying dates. The charter review task force recommended this change with a 7-1 vote.

If approved, the charter change would give commissioners flexibility in calling elections to fill vacancies, potentially synchronizing them with other elections. Further details on the proposed revision are available from the county's charter review task force and the legislation behind the change. The proposal will be put to county voters on November 3.
