Early voting, registration and the rest of the ballot

What it is

This would write a definition of work rules into the county charter, covering the policies, procedures, directive standards or requirements governing employee conduct, performance, attendance, workplace behaviour, use of county property or resources, and other conditions of employment.

The ballot text spells out what failing to comply can mean: disciplinary action, suspension, loss of privileges, revocation of authorisations, termination of employment, or other employment-related consequences.

It defines a term rather than setting any particular rule.
