All residents of the City of Niceville who are registered to vote can vote in this race.
In a weak mayor system, like the on Niceville uses, the mayor has limited executive powers and the Niceville City Council plays a more substantial role in governance. The mayor, who does not have a vote, serves as the ‘traffic cop’ when it comes to meeting agendas and as the head of the city for official events. He or she is also responsible for representing the will of the city in front of other legislative bodies and to the public.
Mayor Daniel Henkel was elected to the Mayor of Niceville's Office after the death of Mayor Randy Wise. Henkel is a retired Air Force Officer, long time Niceville resident, father and grandfather.
