A special election is scheduled in Orlando, Florida, to determine the next City Commissioner for District 3. Residents of District 3 will head to the polls on Tuesday, December 9th, 2025, to cast their votes in a runoff election.
The election pits Roger Chapin against Mira Tanna. The November 2025 election saw a very close race between the two candidates, with only 13 votes separating them. This tight margin triggered the need for this runoff election to definitively decide who will represent District 3.
Who is Eligible to Vote?
Only registered voters who reside within Orlando’s District 3 are eligible to participate in this crucial runoff election. It’s important for residents to confirm their district to ensure their vote counts.
