阿克伦选民通过住房宪章修正案 取消租房申请费、押金可分期
阿克伦市选民在11月3日的选举中通过三项宪章修正案，其中两项与住房有关。第11号议案以57.8%的得票率通过，取消租房申请费，并要求房东提供三期或六期分期支付押金的选择；第12号议案以50.9%微弱通过，将犯罪记录（性犯罪与纵火除外）与收入来源列为住房受保护类别，禁止房东以此为由拒绝出租，并授予阿克伦民权委员会对住房歧视申诉的管辖权。
以57.7%通过的第13号议案加强了市民警察监督委员会。市议会接下来须在90天内通过实施细则立法。
三项提案由民间组织「自由集团」征集签名推动。市长沙马斯·马利克此前反对将如此细致的规则写入市宪章，但选后表示将配合市议会制定可行的规则。以上为非官方结果，待萨米特县选举委员会认证。（来源：萨米特县选举委员会）
Akron Voters Pass Housing Charter Amendments on Application Fees, Deposits and Fair Housing
Akron voters approved three charter amendments on November 3, including two housing measures. Issue 11 passed with 57.8 percent of the vote, eliminating rental application fees and requiring landlords to offer security deposits in three or six installments. Issue 12 passed narrowly with 50.9 percent, adding criminal history and source of income to the city's protected classes in housing, with exceptions for sex and arson offenses, and giving the Akron Civil Rights Commission jurisdiction over housing discrimination complaints.
Issue 13, which passed with 57.7 percent, strengthens the city's citizen police review board. The City Council must now enact implementing legislation within 90 days.
The measures were placed on the ballot by the Freedom BLOC through a signature drive. Mayor Shammas Malik had opposed writing the detailed rules into the charter but said after the vote that he would work with the council on workable rules. Results are unofficial pending certification. (Source: Summit County Board of Elections)
