Last updated Sat, Nov 7, 4:33 PM ET

Ballot measure · November 3, 2026 · Green voters

What it does
Shall Section 4.8 of the Charter of the City of Green be amended to replace the option of leaving a copy of the notice at the usual place of residence of the Mayor and Council members and substitute email with read receipt as a form of notification for special Council meetings?
A YES vote means
Notice of special Green Council meetings could be given by email with read receipt instead of leaving a copy at the Mayor's and Council members' homes.
A NO vote means
The notice options for special Council meetings would not change.
Needed to pass
A simple majority: more than half of the YES and NO votes on this measure must be YES. Leaving it blank doesn't count either way.
Left–right lean
Not a left–right issue: a procedural or local question that liberals and conservatives don't typically split on (AI read of the official ballot summary).

The YES and NO lines are SpectrumVote's plain-language reading of the official text above; the official text is what you vote on.

Background

According to the City of Green, its Charter Review Commission (appointed by the Mayor every seven years) met 12 times from January through early June 2026 and recommended seven amendments, six of which City Council approved for the ballot as Issues 21–26.

The City says the Charter now requires notice of special Council meetings to be delivered to members' homes. Issue 21 would let the Clerk of Council give notice by email with a read receipt instead.

Put on the ballot by Green City Council, on recommendation of the 2026 Charter Review Commission.
