Did you know...
Rockville is the 4th largest city in Maryland and the 8th most diverse city in the U.S. However, Rockville historically has a low voter turnout.
In 2019 alone, 70% of registered Rockville voters did not participate in the municipal election. The Mayor and Council recognized this problem and appointed the 2020 Commission to research provisions that may boost voter turnout.
The commission recommended 4 solutions that the City Council and Mayor voted to send to a referendum, Rockville residents will vote on this referenda on November 7, 2023.
Low voter turnout can have a big impact on our cities. When not enough people vote, it can result in elected officials and policies being influenced by a small group of people and the uneven distribution of resources. This undermines our representative democracy and the effectiveness of our local government.
But your vote can change that. By supporting the Rockville referendum, you’re voting to make Rockville a more fair and equal place for all. We want to ensure that everyone has a say in how our city is run.
Your vote is crucial in shaping our city’s future.
Vote YES on Question 1
People aged 16 and 17 are integral to Rockville. They are employed, support their families, pay Rockville taxes, and contribute to our community. They deserve the right to vote.
Vote YES on Question 2
Everyone in Rockville should have input on the laws that govern them, regardless of immigration status. Rockville is the eighth most diverse city in the U.S., with one-third of its residents born outside the U.S. We can hear more voices by expanding the electorate.
Vote YES on Question 3
Term limits allow the opportunity for new candidates with new ideas to be elected to office and ensures that leadership remains responsive and accountable to the community.
Vote YES on Question 4
Creating districts, would provide a more reflective representation on City Council of the citizens of Rockville, thus allowing residents to have a stronger voice.
