Harrison council votes to send charter amendment to Nov. 3 ballot
Summary
Council approved a measure to place a proposed amendment to the city charter on the Nov. 3, 2026 ballot, including material edits and a change that would allow electronic public notice in place of mandatory newspaper publication.
The Harrison City Council voted to place a proposed amendment to the city charter on the Nov. 3, 2026 ballot and directed the clerk to certify the wording to the Hamilton County Board of Elections.
Mayor Grubbs told the council most edits in the packet were grammatical but said there are a few material changes citizens should review before the election. Council discussion highlighted a provision that would let the city use electronic media — including social platforms and the city website — for required public notices instead of the current newspaper-only language.
Mayor Grubbs said the council would push the proposal to the ballot and make the proposed changes available for public review. The council moved and seconded the submission; members then voted to approve sending the amendment to the Board of Elections for inclusion on the Nov. 3 ballot.
The measure will be published and certified in accordance with the Board of Elections’ schedule. The city indicated it will publish the exact ballot wording and make explanatory materials available online so voters can review the proposed changes before the election.
