Ballot measure · November 3, 2026 · Green voters

What it does
Shall Section 9.2 of the Charter of the City of Green be amended to allow Council to use the electronic/online equivalent of a newspaper of general circulation in the City as a method of publication for Charter Review Commission recommendations?
A YES vote means
Green Council could use an online equivalent of a local newspaper to publish Charter Review Commission recommendations.
A NO vote means
The charter would not add the online newspaper option for publishing Charter Review Commission recommendations.
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 Issue 25 would let Charter Review Commission recommendations be published online or in an electronic equivalent instead of only in a newspaper, similar to Issue 22 for ordinances and notices. Separately, Issue 26 would move charter reviews from every seven years to every five.

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