Official plain English statement
Under Pennsylvania's Home Rule Charter and Optional Plans law a question has been placed on the ballot asking voters to approve the formation of a government study commission consisting of seven members to study the existing form of government in Conshohocken Borough. If the commission is approved, the commission would determine if the adoption of a home rule charter is advisable. If the commission determines that the adoption is advisable they would recommend its adoption, draft a home rule charter, and the question of adopting the home rule charter would be placed on the ballot in a future election to be approved or rejected by electors of the borough. A majority yes vote on this question would allow for the formation of the study commission.
On the ballot in all seven Conshohocken Borough precincts. The same ballots also carry the election of the seven commission members ("Vote for Not More Than Seven"); no candidate names are printed, only write-in lines. Per the county's interpretive statement, voters may vote for commission members however they vote on the question.
