KALEIDOSCOPE: HOW TO ASK THE WARD QUESTION (CONT'D)

Following are the various ways suggested (to date) in which City Council may word the question on councilmanic reform that must be on the May 1996 ballot:

Should the method of electing those members of City Council who are elected from residence districts be amended from an at-large system where all of the voters of the city cast a ballot for each councilmember to a ward system where only those voters residing in a councilmember's district may cast a vote for that councilmember?

Should the city councilmember elected from each residence district be elected by all qualified voters of the city (at large) rather than only by the voters of that district (ward)?

Should those councilmembers elected from residence districts (formerly boroughs) be elected by all of the qualified voters of the city at-large rather than being elected only by the qualified voters of a councilmember's district (a ward system)?

Should the city councilmember elected to represent a particularly borough be elected by all qualified voters throughout the city rather than only by the qualified voters residing in that particular voter?

If you wish to vote for all 11 council seats, vote YES. If you prefer to vote for only five of the 11 council seats, vote NO. by CNB
