The Coconut Creek City Commission approved a new district map on June 25, 2026, that will change how the city elects its leaders. The map shifts the commission to one at-large elected mayor and four district commissioners.

Voters approved the charter amendment in the November 2024 general election. The commission then appointed five residents to the 2026 Re-Districting Board, which spent six weeks reviewing population data, neighborhood boundaries and community interests before recommending the map.

The new boundaries will first apply to candidates in the March 13, 2029, City Commission election. Candidate qualifying opens March 13, 2028. Current district lines stay in effect until the newly elected mayor and commissioners are sworn in on March 22, 2029.

For residents, the timeline means the 2029 ballot will be the first to use the new lines, and current district boundaries still govern until then.
