Polls have closed in South Florida, with voters set to choose congressional representatives for several of the area's districts.
Voters in Miami-Dade County will determine which candidates will represent them in District 24, which includes parts of Miami Gardens, North Miami and Opa-Locka, in District 25, which includes part of the coast running from Miami-Dade County to Palm Beach County, in District 26, which includes parts of Hialeah, in District 27, which includes parts of Coral Gables, South Miami, Pinecrest and Kendall and in District 28, which includes Homestead and Monroe County.
District 24's seat is held by Frederica Wilson, a Democrat, who is not running for reelection and has endorsed Democrat Oliver G. Gilbert, former mayor of Miami
Gardens.
District 25 was redrawn during Florida's mid-decade redistricting — though Democrat Debbie Wasserman Shultz previously represented the district, she is seeking election in District 20.
District 26's seat is held by Republic incumbent Mario Diaz-Balart.
District 27's seat is held by Maria Elvira Salazar, a Republican, who was originally elected in Nov. of 2020. She has since been reelected two times, and is running once again.
District 28's seat is held by Republican incumbent Carlos A. Gimenez.
Polls closed at 7 p.m. in South Florida on Nov. 3. Results for the races will be updated as they are released.

Miami Referendum 3
Referendum 3, on the ballot for city of Miami voters on Nov. 3, proposes leasing about 27.62 acres on Virginia Key to Virginia Key LLC, a joint venture between RCI Marine Group and Dallas-based Suntex Marinas, according to the Real Deal. The lease would last for 45 years initially, with the opportunity for two 15-year renewals, according to a sample ballot provided by the Miami-Dade County Supervisor of Elections.
The referendum says an "approximately $80,000,000 privately funded investment" will go toward redeveloping "existing Rickenbacker and Marine Stadium marinas." It also proposes a "minimum annual guaranteed rent" of $2.2 million to the city of Miami, "with escalations," totaling about $203.98 million over the initial term.
Miami-Dade School Board Referendum
In Miami-Dade, a referendum to provide funding to the school board is up for renewal. Approval of the referendum wouldn't result in any tax increases for voters, according to the district's website, but would continue to provide funds to supplement salaries for key staff.
Voters chose to approve the referendum in 2018 and 2022, according to the district. A renewal in 2026 would mean an additional four years of funding. Otherwise, it's set to expire June 30, 2027.
