Wicomico County · decided by Wicomico County voters · 2026-11-03

Early voting, registration and the rest of the ballot

What it is

Wicomico's charter currently requires council meeting minutes to be typed out by hand. This would let the Council Administrator keep them as written minutes, as digital recordings, or as a combination of the two.

It is an administrative change rather than a change in what the council does. What is at stake is the form the public record takes.

What your vote does

A vote FOR

The Council Administrator may keep minutes as written text, as digital recordings, or both.
