In Frederick County, we have five council districts and two at-large seats. This means that five individuals represent specific districts of the county while two represent the county as a whole. However, all members cast votes on legislation, no matter what part of the County they live in.

Some of their duties, responsibilities, and authority include:

• Proposing, reviewing, and adopting legislation and ordinances

  • It takes an affirmative vote of at least 4 members to pass a bill into law and then 60 calendar days for it to go into effect

• Engaging with residents

• Reviewing and approving the yearly budget

• The ability to override the County Executive’s veto by the affirmative vote of five County Council Members

• You can vote even if you were convicted of a felony, if:

  • The felony convictions are not for the crime of buying or selling votes; and

  • You have completed your imprisonment.

• You can vote while on probation, unless you were convicted of buying or selling votes.
