The question on your ballot
Shall the Town of Fort Myers Beach Charter be amended to clarify that the candidate qualifying period to run for Town Council may be determined by the Lee County Supervisor of Elections pursuant to interlocal agreement with the Town?
In plain language
A VoterDecoder summary of the official measure text.
This charter amendment is about the time when people sign up to run for the Fort Myers Beach Town Council, called the qualifying period. It would make clear that the Lee County Supervisor of Elections may set this period under an agreement with the town. A YES vote adds this rule to the town charter. A NO vote leaves the charter's current wording on qualifying as it is.
