The Clark County Charter Review Commission is inviting voters to a series of town‑hall meetings across the county’s five council districts.

How to participate
Commissioners will provide an overview of each amendment and field comments from attendees. Residents who cannot attend in person may submit written comments through the county’s website. All meeting agendas and video recordings will be posted on the same webpage after each session.
About the charter amendments
The nine proposed changes cover a range of governance issues, including adjustments to the composition of the county council, updates to the budgeting process, and revisions to the procedures for public hearings. The amendments are intended to modernize the charter and improve transparency for Clark County residents.
Why the town halls matter
Providing a forum for direct dialogue aligns with the county’s commitment to open government and gives voters the information they need to make an informed choice at the ballot box. The commission encourages all citizens, especially families and community‑leaders, to attend or submit feedback so the final charter reflects the values and priorities of the county’s diverse neighborhoods.
