Voice Your Thoughts on the Future of Rockville Elections
May 6, 2025
Community engagements sessions in June offer the chance to voice your thoughts about the future of Rockville elections.
The Mayor and Council, Board of Supervisors of Elections, city staff, and a city consultant will conduct a top-to-bottom review of Rockville’s future election process beginning with in-person sessions to gather input about potential changes to the city election code.
The sessions will be held 7-9 p.m. Thursday, June 5 and 9 a.m.-noon Saturday, June 7 in the Mayor and Council chamber at City Hall, 111 Maryland Ave.
The city is seeking input regarding Chapter 8 of the city code, entitled “Elections.” Community members are asked to consider the following questions about city elections:
- Do you prefer to vote by mail?
- Do you think there are enough drop boxes and voting centers?
- Do you think there is enough transparency around funding campaign committees/slates/political action committees?
- Are you satisfied with the city’s efforts to enforce its campaign finance laws?
- Do you believe the city is promoting diversity, equality and inclusion appropriately?
- Should the city implement the 2023 ballot measures? If so, which ones?
- Do you have other ideas to improve the city’s election process?
Community members may also submit input in writing to the city clerk/director of council operations by 5 p.m. Monday, June 9 at cityclerk@rockvillemd.gov.
