Skeleton first. The offices, cycles, and structure below are statutory and sourced. Per-county harvest detail — feed vehicle, precinct ledger, provenance traces — arrives when this county's publication is decoded, and nothing here pretends otherwise.

The office slate

What Miami-Dade County elects.

Every Florida county elects the same constitutional core — Amendment 10 (2018) saw to that — with charter counties varying the governing body on top.

by circuit

Two-tier government with a strong mayor (since 2007) and a 13-member, single-district, nonpartisan commission. The county acts as the municipality for its vast unincorporated area, and Amendment 10 restored its elected sheriff (first since 1966), tax collector, and supervisor of elections in the 2024 election.
