Richland Voters to Decide on New City Council Election System
RICHLAND, Wash. (KEPR) — A little more than a month before the general election, Richland voters will decide whether to change the way city council members are elected.
Measure No. 1 on the ballot could shift the city from an at-large system to a mixed system with district-based seats.
Currently, all seven members of the Richland City Council are elected by voters citywide. If approved, Measure No. 1 would create five district-based positions and two at-large positions.
Supporters argue the change would better reflect the city’s diverse neighborhoods.
