The 2024 Miami-Dade County mayoral election was held on August 20, 2024, to elect the mayor of Miami-Dade County, Florida. The election was officially nonpartisan; a runoff election would have occurred on November 5, 2024 if no candidate won a majority of the vote.[1]
Incumbent Daniella Levine Cava, first elected in 2020 with 54.0% of the vote, was re-elected in a landslide.[2]
On election night, early returns and precinct-level data indicated that Levine-Cava would win every municipality except for Miami Lakes, home to her main opponent Manny Cid.
