People have more time to apply to serve on the next Charter Review Commission in Volusia County.
The original deadline of June 30 has been extended until 5 p.m. on July 18, according to a county news release. The County Council is scheduled to select 15 people to serve on the Commission on Aug. 5.
“This citizen-led body is responsible for evaluating the Volusia County Charter and recommending updates to ensure it remains effective and responsive to the community’s evolving needs,” according to the county.
A Charter Review Commission is formed at least once every 10 years, according to a county news release. The group will hold regular public meetings for up to one year.
The County Council will hold at least three public hearings before deciding which of the Commission’s proposed amendments, if any, to put on the ballot for the November 2026 general election.
To serve, someone has to be a registered voter and a Volusia County resident. Members of the Florida Legislature and the County Council aren’t eligible.
To apply, go to volusia.org/chartercommission. For information contact Deputy Clerk Karissa Green at kgreen@volusia.org or 386-736-5928.
