The 2014 North Miami mayoral special election took place on November 4, 2014, following a primary election on August 26, 2014. Following her victory in the 2013 election, Mayor Lucie Tondreau was indicted by federal prosecutors on charges relating to an $8 million mortgage fraud scheme. She was later suspended from office by Governor Rick Scott, and a special election was held to fill the remainder of her term in office.
Three candidates ran in the special election: former Mayor Kevin Burns, former City Councilman Jean Marcellus, and physician Smith Joseph, all of whom unsuccessfully ran in the previous mayoral election. In the primary election, Burns placed first, winning 45 percent of the vote, and advanced to a runoff election against Joseph, who placed second with 38 percent of vote. Joseph ultimately defeated Burns, 54–46 percent, and served out the remainder of Tondreau's term.
