How to voice your opinion in Lancaster County

Published 7 months ago • 1 min read

Want to voice your opinion on county issues? Here’s how:

📌 Tips for Effective Public Commenting:​
✔️ Be respectful and concise. Avoid personal attacks.
✔️ State your position clearly (support/oppose) and provide facts.
✔️ Keep it under 3 minutes. You don’t need to be a great speaker—just be direct.

1️⃣ Speak at a County Meeting

  • Arrive early and sign up to speak at the door.
  • You’ll have 3 minutes to address a topic on the agenda.
  • Planning commission, county council and all county public meetings have a citizen comment component.
  • Note: Council members can listen but cannot engage in discussion during public comments.

2️⃣ Submit a Public Comment Electronically

  • Comments are recorded as public record and distributed to all council members.
  • Submitting electronically is a great option for county council and planning commission meetings.
  • ​Submit your comment here.

3️⃣ Contact County Council Members
​The contacts are not part of public records but allow direct communication with council members.
