The proposed wording would update the charter to reflect how municipal elections are conducted, without changing residents’ voting rights. The commission did not finalize other potential changes, including whether to allow people to affirm rather than swear an oath and whether to change the charter review cycle from every two years to every four years. The next meeting was scheduled for September 9, 2025, to review Articles 7 and 8.
