No. The Board’s decision to initiate the nine-step process to become a Home Rule Charter was made during a public meeting on March 25.
There is an upcoming Home Rule Q&A event on Tuesday, June 17 at 6 p.m. To answer as many voter questions as possible, this event will be hosted online and via phone. Commissioners are prepared to go longer than one hour and answer your questions.
Additionally, if voters decide to move forward with Home Rule, there will be three public meetings before the November election.
How to Join the Home Rule Q&A Event
Why is this event being held virtually?
Colorado Election Law (C.R.S. 1-13-714) prohibits electioneering within 100 feet of polling centers and ballot drop box locations. This includes campaigning for or against any candidate or measure on the ballot. Because the ballot drop box in front of the Douglas County Government building, where the hearing room is located, is now open, our Douglas County Clerk and Recorder, who is responsible for the statutory conduct of elections, has advised of the potential for electioneering violations, whether intentional or not.
