The question on your ballot

Shall the Leon County Charter be amended to remove outdated statutory references related to the establishment of a Charter, specify public hearing and notice requirements to consider amending the Charter, and require the Citizen Charter Review Committee to submit its recommendations 150 days before the general election to provide additional time for the Board and residents of Leon County to consider proposed charter amendments?

In plain language

A VoterDecoder summary of the official measure text.

This Leon County charter amendment would remove old references to state law about how a Charter is set up. It would set rules for public hearings and notice when changes to the Charter are considered. It would also have the Citizen Charter Review Committee turn in its ideas 150 days before the general election. The question says this gives the Board and residents more time to weigh them. A YES vote adopts these changes, while a NO vote keeps the current rules.
