Shall the municipality approve the Charter amendment reprinted and summarized below?
Art. VI. Sec. 3. Nominations for Elective Officers to be Made by Petition.
The nomination of all candidates for elective office provided by this Charter shall be by petition. The petition of a candidate for Councilor or for member of the School Committee shall be signed by not less than 100 nor more than 150 qualified voters of the City. The number of said petitions for candidates for any office that may be signed by any voter shall not exceed the number of candidates to be elected to said office, and in In no case may a voter sign more than one petition for any one candidate.
Summary: State of Fact: Additions are underlined; deletions struck through.
Currently, Article VI, Sec. 3 of the Bangor City Charter states that the number of petitions a voter can sign for any candidate for a municipal office cannot exceed the number of candidates that can be elected for that office. This change will eliminate this provision, allowing voters to sign any number of candidate petitions.
