Voters will also elect members of the Florida House of Representatives (all 120 seats, two-year terms) and half of the Florida Senate (20 of 40 seats, four-year terms). North Bay Village falls within specific state legislative districts that will be confirmed closer to the election. County offices up for election in 2026 may include various Miami-Dade County Commission seats, School Board members, and other constitutional offices.
