Community engagements sessions in June offer the chance to voice your thoughts about the future of Rockville elections.
The Mayor and Council, Board of Supervisors of Elections, city staff, and a city consultant will conduct a top-to-bottom review of Rockville’s future election process beginning with in-person sessions to gather input about potential changes to the city election code.
The sessions will be held 7-9 p.m. Thursday, June 5 and 9 a.m.-noon Saturday, June 7 in the Mayor and Council chamber at City Hall, 111 Maryland Ave.
The city is seeking input regarding Chapter 8 of the city code, entitled “Elections.” Community members are asked to consider the following questions about city elections:
- Do you prefer to vote by mail?
- Do you think there are enough drop boxes and voting centers?
- Do you think there is enough transparency around funding campaign committees/slates/political action committees?
- Are you satisfied with the city’s efforts to enforce its campaign finance laws?
- Do you believe the city is promoting diversity, equality and inclusion appropriately?
- Should the city implement the 2023 ballot measures? If so, which ones?
- Do you have other ideas to improve the city’s election process?
Community members may also submit input in writing to the city clerk/director of council operations by 5 p.m. Monday, June 9 at [email protected].
