Miami and Miami Beach November 2017 election results

The results are in. These are your new leaders (except for District 3, that one’s headed to a runoff), and this is how you voted on your city proposals.

City of Miami:

Mayor

Francis Suarez

District 3

This is headed to a runoff because no candidate topped 50 percent. Joe Carollo came in first place with 30 percent of the vote, but the race for second between Alfonso “Alfie” Leon (20.30 percent) and Zoraida Barreiro (20.03 percent) was so close that it’s headed for an automatic recount (that’s a difference of 17 – 17! – votes. Your vote matters).

Whoever has more votes after the recount will head to a runoff against Carollo on Nov. 21.

District 4

Manolo Reyes (57 percent)
