| “ | Shall Charter be amended to allow City to mandate weatherization of structures built before 1979 without a citywide vote? | ” |
Ballot summary
The ballot summary for this measure was:
| “ |
The Charter Commission proposed a measure to delete Charter Section 1-108 and allow the City to mandate weatherization of pre-1979 structures without a citywide vote. Currently, the City cannot mandate weatherization for any structure built before September 1, 1979, unless Council refers the weatherization mandate to voters. This limit was added to the Charter in 1980 through a vote on an initiative petition. If the measure is approved, the City would be able to mandate building weatherization without referring the mandate to voters. The City Budget Office determined the measure has no direct financial impact. | ” |
Path to the ballot
This measure was put on the ballot through a vote of the governing body of Portland.

According to the U.S. Department of Justice, the application "may require only the minimum amount of information necessary to prevent duplicate voter registrations and permit State officials both to determine the eligibility of the applicant to vote and to administer the voting process."
