Eliminate At-Large Council Members

Only on ballots in Prince George's County

The question

Effective December 2030, and for each subsequent election cycle, this measure will reduce the County Council membership from 11 members to 9 members by eliminating the two at-large council seats which do not represent a specific council district. This measure will provide for more efficient and cost-effective elections and will restore the voting strength of communities and neighborhoods in each district.
