Miami could have special election to replace late Commissioner Manolo Reyes
Briefly

Following the passing of Miami Commissioner Manolo Reyes, the City Commission is faced with a decision to either appoint a replacement or call for a special election. They must act within a 10-day window post-Reyes’ death. If appointed, the new commissioner would serve until November's municipal election, where the seat will be contested again. On the other hand, a failure to appoint would necessitate a special election around early June, allowing only a brief qualifying period for candidates.
The Miami City Commission faces a decision on whether to appoint a new commissioner for District 4 or to hold a special election by April 20.
The new appointee, chosen by the city commission, could serve until a special election takes place in November, determining who will complete the term.
The commission has until April 20 to decide on the appointment of a new commissioner following the recent passing of Commissioner Manolo Reyes.
If the commission opts for a special election, candidates will have just five days to enter the race, with the election likely held by early June.
