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.

How do I qualify as a City Commission/Mayoral candidate?

Mayor: Any qualified Broward County elector whose principal place of residence is in the City of Deerfield Beach and who has resided continuously in the City for six (6) months immediately prior to qualifying as a candidate for the office shall be eligible to hold the office of  mayor. The Mayor must continue to live within the city limits during the term of office or forfeit the office.

Commissioner: Any qualified Broward County elector whose principal place of residence is in the City of Deerfield Beach and who has resided continuously in the City for six (6) months immediately prior to qualifying and in the district from which he seeks to qualify prior to qualifying as a candidate for the office shall be eligible to hold the Office of City Commissioner. During the term of office a commissioner must continue to live within the district from which he or she was elected or forfeit the office.
