How to voice your opinion in Lancaster County

Published 6 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.
