Miami cancels election for mayor, reschedules, critics allege power grab, incumbent term extended

The City of Miami's City Commission voted to postpone the November 2025 mayoral election to November 2026, effectively canceling the originally scheduled election and extending the terms of the incumbent mayor and commissioners by one year. This decision has sparked criticism and allegations of a power grab, as it allows the current mayor and commissioners to remain in office without voter approval for an additional year.
