The Bal Harbour Village General Municipal Election originally scheduled

for Districts 1, 3, and 5 now being unopposed.
By August 17th, 018, at the end of qualifying, only Seth Salver and
Gabriel Groisman, filed and qualified for District 1 and District 5
respectively, and Patricia Cohen and Buzzy Sklar both filed and qualified
for District 3. Patricia Cohen withdrew from the election on September
10th, leaving Buzzy Sklar unopposed. The unopposed candidates will be
declared elected on November 6 and are scheduled to be inducted into
office on Monday, November 19th, 2018 at 10:00 AM.
Due to the timing of the withdrawal, Miami-Dade County Elections was
unable to stop the printing of candidates Cohen¹s and Sklar¹s names on
the November 6 ballot, therefore eligible voters will be notified in
their vote-by-mail ballots and at the polls during Early Voting (October
22nd - November 4th) and Election Day (November 6th) that the results for
this race will not be tallied.
Please be aware that all other Federal, State and County elections are
still active and you will still be able to vote for candidates and issues
by mail, during Early Voting or on Election Day.
You may register vote for the November 6 Election up until October 9,
2018. You may request a Vote-By-Mail Ballot up until 6 days before the
election, October 31, 2018.
