Conshohocken: elect 7-member government study commission

The question asks Conshohocken Borough voters whether to elect a seven-member government study commission. The commission would study the Borough's existing form of government and consider whether adopting a home rule charter is advisable. If the commission finds adoption advisable, it would recommend adoption and draft a home rule charter. The charter would then go to voters in a future election to be approved or rejected. A YES vote allows the commission to be formed, and a NO vote means it is not formed.

Under Pennsylvania’s Home Rule Charter and Optional Plans law a question has been placed on the ballot asking voters to approve the formation of a government study commission consisting of seven members to study the existing form of government in Conshohocken Borough. If the commission is approved, the commission would determine if the adoption of a home rule charter is advisable. If the commission determines that the adoption is advisable they would recommend its adoption, draft a home rule charter, and the question of adopting the home rule charter would be placed on the ballot in a future election to be approved or rejected by electors of the borough. A majority yes vote on this question would allow for the formation of the study commission.
