The City of Miami has announced a Special Election set for June 3, where locals will have the chance to elect a new City Commissioner for District 4. According to a notice published yesterday by the City of Miami government, the polls will be open from 7:00 a.m. until 7:00 p.m. at various designated precincts in Miami-Dade County.
Candidates vying for the Commissioner seat can officially throw their hats in the ring starting Monday until Friday, by qualifying at the Office of the City Clerk housed at Miami City Hall. As specified, "qualifying fees for City Commissioner must be paid by a check drawn on the candidate’s campaign account and must be signed by the campaign treasurer or deputy treasurer" with the State Assessment Fee being $582.00, and the City Qualifying Fee totaling $100.00. These details were highlighted on the City of Miami's official election notice.
Prospective candidates are encouraged to schedule an appointment for qualification by reaching out to the City Clerk's Office through email at [email protected] or by phone at (305) 250-5361. The office states that it will have extended hours on the last day of qualifying, remaining open until 6:00 p.m. to accommodate last-minute applicants.
