How do I get involved?

A voter initiative is a huge endeavor..... It starts with getting 5000 signatures on the voter initiative petition.
Edmonds has not had a voter initiative since 2002 when 5000 voters signed a petition about mandatory spaying of cats and dogs that were being adopted into the community. This 2026 initiative on how Edmonds is governed is a more substantial topic. It puts teeth into the notion that the citizens are at the top of the city's organization chart.
We estimate it will take over 3 months and a hundred volunteers to collect the required number of signatures on the petition. (This is a physical form, not a on-line petition).
Ways to volunteer:
Organizing an in-home meeting of your neighbors and invite them to sign
Bring a couple signature forms to your organization's meeting and invite others to sign.
Take a one hour shift at our table in front of your grocery store and invite shoppers to sign.
Attend events such as music performances and festivals and invite attendees to sign.
In the Fall we need fundraising volunteers so we can pay for the mailers and yard signs needed for the '26 general election campaign
Email the team at info@citymanagerforEdmonds.org to let us know you're ready to help. We'll put you to work at the location you prefer.
