City of Vancouver Proposed Charter Amendment No. 12
Concerning Initiative and Referendum Petitions The City Council of Vancouver adopted Resolution M-4282 proposing an amendment to the City Charter concerning the technical requirements for initiative and referendum petitions. If approved, this amendment would remove language referencing physical paper and indelible signatures that would prevent the acceptance of electronic signatures on petitions and would permit the City Council to authorize the acceptance of electronic signatures on petitions when, and to the extent, allowed by state law. Should this amendment be approved?
