What your vote means
A YES vote requires the County Council to use a bill (not a resolution) if it changes the redistricting plan proposed by the Redistricting Commission.
A NO vote leaves Charter Section 305 as is, so the Council could use a resolution instead of a bill.

Charter Amendment Bill to Change Redistricting Plan
This measure provides that if the County Council passes a law to change the redistricting plan proposed by the Redistricting Commission it shall do so by bill and not by resolution after notice and public hearing. A vote for this measure will correct Section 305 of the Charter to require the County Council to adopt a bill and not a resolution when it changes the redistricting plan proposed by the Redistricting Commission. A vote against this measure will not correct Section 305 of the Charter and may result in the County Council adopting a resolution instead of a bill when it changes the redistricting plan proposed by the Redistricting Commission.
