What the Evidence Shows

The claim states that Miami canceled its 2025 elections and extended current officials' terms without a public vote. According to multiple news sources, including CBS News and the Miami Herald, the Miami City Commission voted 3-2 to postpone the city's November 2025 election to November 2026. This postponement means that the terms of the current elected officials are extended by one year.

The decision was made by the City Commission without a direct public vote on the matter, which has led to criticism and legal challenges from some candidates and observers. The move aims to shift elections to even years, purportedly to increase voter turnout, but it has been controversial.

Therefore, the claim accurately reflects the situation as reported by credible news outlets.
