The question, as printed on the ballot

A revision of the Charter of Wicomico County to add a definition of "Work Rules," which shall mean policies, procedures, directive standards or requirements governing employee conduct, performance, attendance, workplace behavior, use of County property or resources or other conditions of employment. Work rules include provisions that may result in disciplinary action, suspension, loss of privileges, revocation of authorizations, termination of employment, or other employment-related consequences for failure to comply.

A “Yes” vote means

A vote yes adds a definition of "Work Rules" (policies and standards for workplace conduct that may lead to discipline) to the County Charter.

A “No” vote means

A vote no means a definition of "Work Rules" will not be inserted in the Charter.

One of four charter revisions under Charter Resolution #110-2026, each voted on separately.
