City Charter Amendment Changing Length of Council Terms from Two Years to Four Years
What does this measure do?
Oviedo City Council members would serve four-year terms instead of two-year terms starting with the 2028 election, with a one-time three-year term for those elected in 2027. You would vote on each council seat half as often, and the city says the change has no cost.
Proposed by: Oviedo City Council (Ordinance 1768)
The city's elected council acted after its Charter Review Committee finished its work. A city charter is the city's rulebook. Florida law says city voters must approve any change to it.

A YES vote means
Council terms become four years starting with the 2028 election. Members elected in 2027 serve three years so city races move to even years.
A NO vote means
Council members keep serving two-year terms.
