Miami residents are set to vote on a proposal in November that aims to implement lifetime term limits for elected officials, restricting mayors and city commissioners to four consecutive terms, equating to 16 years in total. This initiative comes as a response to the entrenched political establishment in the city, where several long-serving officials have announced their candidacies for the upcoming election. The proposal seeks to introduce new ideas into Miami politics, fostering diverse representation.
"It's trying to focus on, what's the Miami we want in the future? We want to have more people at the table. We want to have different people at the table. We want to have different ideas."
"If approved, the change would add further guardrails to the city's elections following a charter change that voters approved last year requiring candidates to have continuously resided in the district in which they are seeking office for at least one year immediately before qualifying."
