Miami-Dade County has a central government led by a strong mayor elected on an at-large basis, and 13 County Commissioners, each elected in nonpartisan elections for four-year terms. The county is made of 34 municipalities with their own local governments, and 10 unincorporated areas with their own elected zoning boards.
