Groups canvass Douglas County neighborhoods ahead of Tuesday's home rule special election

DOUGLAS COUNTY, Colo. — In neighborhoods throughout Douglas County, there was a final push for people to cast their ballots and be aware of the home rule special election taking place on June 24.

Voters will decide if Douglas County should form a home rule charter commission, vote for three at-large charter commission members, and, within your district, choose six commissioners to represent you and your neighbors.

Another worry Mayr brought up was the transparency of the county commissioners and "what they would do with this power."

"We don't know who will be on this committee that's going to fundamentally change our governmental structure. That's really scary. I have nine children, and seven still live in Douglas County. This could change the world for them. I think there's the potential for great harm here without any benefit they've been able to explain to us," Mayr said.
