The 2025 Miami mayoral election will be held on November 4, 2025. Incumbent mayor Francis Suarez is term-limited and cannot run for a third term. Miami has runoff elections if no candidates can get a majority of the vote. [1]
The 2025 election cycle has been marred by early controversy. In June 2025, Miami city commissioners passed an ordinance that would change the election dates from odd-numbered to even-numbered years, citing voter turnout and the financial cost of elections as key factors. This ordinance would suspend the November 2025 elections until November 2026, giving incumbents an extra year in office. One of the candidates, Emilio T. Gonzalez, filed a lawsuit challenging the Commission's ordinance. Both the 11th Judicial Circuit and Third District Court of Appeal ruled in Gonzalez's favor, finding that the ordinance violated the Florida Constitution, the Miami-Dade County Home Rule Charter, and the City of Miami Charter. [2] [3] [4] The City of Miami soon after filed a motion to obtain a rehearing en banc . [5] This means that the entire Third District Court would hear the case as opposed to the customary three-judge panel.
Incumbent mayor Francis Suarez, was re-elected in 2021 with 78.6% of the vote, defeating Democrat Max Martinez.
