Take our survey: Elections and voting system
The Charter Review Committee will make a recommendation to Council about how we vote in City elections and we want to hear from you. This can impact how you are represented.
Focus groups
The City has hired Bagwell Consulting to find out what Gresham residents think about representation, voting and more before critical decisions are made about the City Charter. The sessions will take place on the third Thursdays and Sundays in July, August and September. Information collected will remain anonymous and will be included in a report, accompanied by a detailed conversation with Shani Harris-Bagwell of Bagwell Consulting to ensure the committee understands the context of the information they’ve been given. This will help the committee decide what they present to the public.
All focus group sessions are full, so registration is closed.

Committee priorities
The committee is compiling current priorities and public input received through an online whiteboard called Miro. This board is updated as the committee undergoes its review process. Previous versions of the board can be found in the Charter Review Committee's monthly meeting agenda packets.
