Cities’ Election Day Tuesday Not in Boca

By Marci Shatzman

If you live in the city limits of a dozen municipalities but not Boca Raton, this Tuesday March 11 is an Election Day. Why not Boca? None of the five city council seats are up for grabs this year, despite term limits. In fact, Deputy Mayor Yvette Drucker has already filed and started her fundraising campaign for the next Florida state senate election, district 26, as a Democrat. Boca city council is non-partisan.

The next regularly scheduled Municipal Election for the City of Boca Raton will take place next March, specifically on Tuesday, March 10, 2026. The open seats will be mayor, seats A and B, and any other seats that become vacant. Bernard Korn, who has run before, has prequalified to run for mayor. The qualifying period will begin at 8 a.m. on Monday, Nov. 3, 2025, and end at 5 p.m., Wednesday, Nov. 12, 2025, according to the city website.

One more important voting FYI for newbies. Boca Raton and other city addresses include places west of city limits in suburban Palm Beach County. Residents who live outside any city limits, including Boca’s, can’t vote in municipal elections.  Boca Raton’s  city web site has a map allowing registered voters to determine if they live in city limits or not. They may qualify as a resident of the Greater Boca Raton Beach and Park District, but only for the purposes of costs for a Boca Raton annual beach sticker and Boca’s public recreational facilities and activities: https://myboca.us/2404/Determine-Your-Residency

Here’s the municipalities in Palm Beach County that have an election on Tuesday: Boynton Beach, Golf, Highland Beach, Jupiter, Lake Park, Lake Worth Beach, Lantana, Loxahatchee Groves, Pahokee, Palm Beach Gardens, Riveria Beach and Royal Palm Beach.

Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections oversees all elections, including municipal, primaries, state and national, voter registration, poll workers and more, and tracks all results on the website:  https://www.palmbeachelections.gov/
