Coral Gables voters approve moving elections to November, decide 7 other charter amendments

Coral Gables municipal elections are moving to November to coincide with statewide and national races, following a Special Election on Tuesday, when voters approved the change and weighed in on seven other proposed charter amendments.

The measure to reschedule all future elections from April in odd-numbered years to November in even-numbered years (Amendment 1) passed with 66% support.

Only a simple majority of more than 50% of the vote was needed for passage.

The change will shorten current officials’ terms by about four months. The first affected will be Mayor Vince Lago and City Commissioner Melissa Castro, who would otherwise have been up for re-election in April 2027.
