Emilio González, a candidate for mayor and former city manager, has filed a lawsuit against the city of Miami regarding the postponement of the upcoming election from November 2025 to November 2026 without voter approval. A judge will determine the legality of the city's decision. González claims the ordinance is unlawful and seeks to revert the election date back to 2025. The timeline is pressing as the original election is less than 100 days away, and legal resolutions should conclude by August 8.
‘People deserve to know whether there will be an election in this year for mayor and certain City Commission seats, or next year,’ argued assistant city attorney Eric Eves. ‘Everybody deserves to know and answer that question quickly.’
González filed suit after the Miami City Commission passed an ordinance that postponed the upcoming November 2025 election to November 2026 without voter approval, giving the current elected officials an extra year in office.
