Venice: choose the vice-mayor every year instead of every two
Venice city · November 3, 2026
The question on your ballot
Shall the City Charter be amended to provide for the annual selection of the Vice-Mayor by the City Council, instead of every two years, consistent with how often the position was selected prior to the 2024 Charter amendment that eliminated odd-year elections?
In plain language
A VoterDecoder summary of the official measure text.
Venice's charter now has the City Council choose a vice-mayor every two years, a result of the 2024 charter change that ended odd-year elections. This amendment would have the council select the vice-mayor every year instead, as it did before that change. A YES vote returns to yearly selection of the vice-mayor, while a NO vote keeps selection every two years.
