On [[November 24]], [[2009]], a mail-in '''referendum election''' was conducted in the [[City of Pensacola]] to consider adoption of a new [[Charter of the City of Pensacola|City charter]].
FICUUo Good point==Ballot question==Voters were asked to vote either "Yes" or "No" on the proposed charter. I hadn't thought about it quite that wayThe full text of the ballot question was: <blockquote>Shall the City of Pensacola replace its current Charter with a completely revised Charter providing for:*A Mayor-Council form of government, replacing a Council-Manager form of government;*A nine-member Council with two at-large seats and seven district seats;*Four-year staggered terms of office instead of two-year terms of office;*Term limits of three consecutive terms;*Recall, initiative and referendum, as described in Ordinance No. :)35-09?<br/><br/>YES _____ for Approval<br/>NO ______ for Rejection</blockquote>
==Referendum process==
==Campaign==
Two political committees emerged in the referendum campaign, each advocating one side of the issue.
