>> While final election results still need to be certified by the Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections, the outcome of Boca Raton’s March 10, 2026 Municipal Election is as follows:
Mayor and City Council Seats
- Seat A: Michelle Grau
- Seat B: Jon Pearlman
- Seat D: Stacy Sipple

The City’s new Mayor and Council Members will be sworn in at an Organizational Meeting on Tuesday, March 31, 2026.
Ballot Questions
- Boca Raton Police Department Headquarters and Public Safety Facilities Project – FAILED: While the referendum did not pass, the need to address the City’s public safety facility needs remains. City staff will take time to review the results and work with the newly elected City Council to evaluate the most appropriate path forward.
- Approving Lease of Downtown City Land, Agreements for Public Improvements, and Preserving / Enhancing Memorial Park – FAILED: The Downtown Campus Redevelopment project will not move forward as proposed. We understand this has been an important issue for many in the community, and the City remains committed to working directly with residents to help shape the vision for this area.<<
