When & Where to Vote
Run-Off Election Day:

Why This Election Matters
Local elections determine:
How our streets are planned and maintained
How quickly issues like noise, traffic, or safety are addressed
What development is approved in Brickell and surrounding neighborhoods
How responsive and transparent our government will be
The long-term vision for Miami’s future
When fewer people vote, fewer voices shape the outcome. When we show up, our community becomes stronger, more representative, and more prepared for the growth ahead.
