The Hazleton City Government Study Commission, convened in January 2026, is soliciting input from elected officials on the method of electing council members for consideration in a proposed Home Rule Charter. Currently, Hazleton elects five council members at-large. The document presents three electoral options for Commission consideration: at-large elections (where all voters can vote for all council members), district/ward elections (where the city is divided into districts with at least 300 registered voters each), or a hybrid combination of both methods. The Commission will determine district boundaries and prepare maps for voter review if a district or hybrid method is adopted. The document requests preliminary consensus on these options to prioritize discussion time and streamline future Commission meetings.
