Surfside ballot would move municipal elections to November and extend 2026 terms to 2028
Summary
Ballot Question 2 asks Surfside voters on March 17 whether to move municipal elections from March to November in even‑numbered years beginning in 2028, set runoffs on the second Tuesday of the following month, and extend 2026 officials’ terms to November 2028 one time.
Clerk introduced Ballot Question 2: “Shall the charter be amended to change Surfside's general election date from March to November in even numbered years, and any runoff to the 2nd Tuesday of the following month, and extending, 1 time only, the terms of officials elected in 2026 to November 2028?” The question is scheduled for the March 17 ballot.
According to the reading, a yes vote would move the town’s general municipal elections to November beginning in 2028 and place runoffs on the second Tuesday of the month following the general election. The reading also states the change would extend, one time only, the terms of officials elected in 2026 so those terms would end in November 2028.
A no vote would keep the town’s municipal elections in March, with runoff timing and officials’ terms remaining unchanged. The transcript records the ballot language and explanatory summary only; it does not include public comment, debate, or a decision. Voters will determine the outcome in the March 17 referendum.
