Staff member announces change to how councilmembers are elected, effective Nov. 2026; online info session March 25

A staff member announced that the way community members elect councilmembers will change in November 2026 and urged residents to attend an online information session to learn more. “La forma en que los miembros de la comunidad eligen a los concejales cambiará en noviembre de 2026,” the staff member said, adding that the session will explain why the change occurred, what it means for voters and how to make one’s vote count.

The announcement gave the information session date as March 25 and a time of 17:30 to 19:00 (5:30 to 7 p.m.). The speaker said residents can “Únase a nosotros para obtener más información sobre por qué se ha producido este cambio, qué significa para usted y cómo puede hacer que su voto cuente.” The message described the session as online and open to the public; no location or governing body name was spoken in the recording.

The announcement concluded by directing listeners to register at a web address read aloud as “Slow City dot org slash single voat.” That phrase is quoted exactly as spoken in the transcript; the URL as recorded appears garbled and may not resolve. The announcement did not provide additional details about the nature of the change to the election method, which authority enacted it, or which office or entity would oversee implementation.

No votes, motions or legal citations were included in the recording. The speaker did not identify themselves by name or departmental title on the recording, and no supporting documents or links beyond the spoken registration address were referenced.

The announcement's next step is the March 25 online session, where the speaker said attendees can expect explanations for why the change happened, what it means for voters and how to participate. Additional details and a working registration link were not provided in the recording.
