Unofficial 2026 Gubernatorial General Election Question Text

: Denotes Winner of the Election

Currently, the County Charter requires the County Council to prepare a proposed Budget for the ensuing fiscal year no later than May 1 and to adopt the Annual Budget no later than May 31, each year.  A vote in favor of the question changes the proposed Budget deadline to May 15 each year and changes the Annual Budget adoption deadline to June 15, each year, to better align with revenue estimates.  A vote against the question keeps the current deadlines in the County Charter for Budget preparation and Annual Budget adoption by the County Council.
