Deerfield-News. com-Deerfield Beach, Fl-In a city where the voter turnout is stymied because it is not held on election day the number of votes a person receives to be commissioner is low. Below are the last election results for District three and four. You can see commissioner Parness won by 31 votes.
The city clerk’s office has informed us the following fees are required for those who want to run.
The filing fee is $100.00 and the State 1% Assessment fee is $321.32 to run as a District 3 or 4 Commissioner. You can come in at anytime and file your paperwork; however, qualifying is from January 4th at noon to January 11th at noon.
Thank you,
Heather Montemayor, CMC,
Assistant City Clerk

When are Municipal Elections held?
The Deerfield Beach Commission is a five-member body elected for a four (4) year term; however, the terms are staggered and elections are held every two (2) years. The next election will be March 2021, for election of the Mayor, as well as, Districts 3 and 4.
Also, every four (4) years, the Deerfield Beach Charter requires redistricting for population consistency throughout the districts, which often changes district boundary lines.
