Proposed City Charter Changes
The Charter Review Commission convenes every five years to review the municipal charter and recommends amendments, if any, to Council. Any change to the City Charter must then be approved by Gahanna voters. Earlier this year, the Charter Review Commission recommended seven changes, which will appear on the ballot for the General Election held on November 2. For more information on these changes, go to the 2021 General Election page.
