“Write your own rules?” Douglas County voters to decide if it’s time for Home Rule
On June 24, Douglas County voters will weigh in on whether to create a Home Rule Charter Commission – and decide who should serve on it. The commission would be made up of 21 members, including six from each commissioner district and three at-large.
If the measure passes, the elected commission will draft a charter that could reshape county governance.
Ballots were mailed starting June 2. Drop boxes and in-person voting will remain open through 7 p.m. on Election Day.
Before voters decide, it’s worth understanding what’s at stake: Home Rule would give Douglas County the chance to write its own charter – a localized framework for how the county governs itself.
