Volusia County Proposal 1 EXPLAINED: Who Will Choose the County Chair? | 2026 Ballot | S5E98

What would Volusia County Proposal 1 actually change?

 

In this short presentation, Constitutional Attorney Katherine Henry explains Volusia County Proposal 1, one of five proposed amendments to the Volusia County Home Rule Charter appearing on the November 2026 ballot.

 

Proposal 1 would make several changes to the structure of the Volusia County Council. Among other things, it would:

 

Return the County Council to seven members—five district members and two at-large members

Have the County Council choose one of its members to serve as County Chair each year

Limit a Council member to two consecutive one-year terms as Chair

Establish a more restrictive term limit under which a Council member could not appear on the ballot if, at the end of the current term, they would have served eight consecutive years on the Council.

 

In this video, Katherine breaks down the proposed changes and explains how Proposal 1 would alter the structure and operation of Volusia County government.
