Portland voters will be asked to elect nine members to the twelve-person Charter Commission for the City. Voters will vote for one of five district representatives and four at-large members.
Last November, the city voted to approve the creation of a Charter Commission. Earlier this year, the City Council appointed three members to the Commission; Pamela Plumb, Naomi Merman and Thomas Valleau. The Charter Commission is charged with engaging the public for a review of the City Charter.
