VANCOUVER – The Clark County Charter Review Commission will hold two upcoming meetings. The meetings will be held 5-7 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 14, and Thursday, Jan. 22.

The meetings are open to the public and will be held in a hybrid format. Attend in person in the sixth-floor hearing room in the Public Service Center at 1300 Franklin St. or virtually via Webex using a link on this web page.

The commission will review the county’s charter and potentially make recommendations for amendments. Fifteen commissioners were elected in the November 2025 general election; three commissioners for each of the five County Councilor districts. Commissioner terms began Jan. 1, 2026, and end Dec. 31, 2027.

Any proposed amendments to the county charter must be decided by Clark County voters in a General Election. Clark County voters in November 2014 voted to adopt the home rule form of government.

More information on the commission is on the county website.
