City of Sebastian Charter Amendment — Vacancy and Forfeiture-of-Office Process
Sebastian city, Florida
My vote power: High
What does this measure do?
Clarifies that Sebastian's council must ask the governor to remove a mayor or council member from office. You could attend a public hearing before that request, with no tax change.
Proposed by: Sebastian City Council (Ordinance O-26-19, July 8, 2026)
The city's elected council acted on its Charter Review Committee's proposals. A city charter is the city's rulebook. Florida law says city voters must approve any change to it.

A YES vote means
Keep a public hearing before asking the governor to remove a city leader, whether for a time or permanently. Ask the governor to return that leader to office if they are cleared of the charges.
A NO vote means
Keep existing city rules on removing officials and returning them to office when cleared. The governor's powers under state law would still apply.
