Evanston rules committee keeps two‑thirds threshold for selecting acting mayor after tied vote After public commenters urged the city to keep a six‑vote supermajority, the Rules Committee rejected a motion to rescind the two‑thirds (six‑vote) requirement for appointing an acting mayor, leaving the higher threshold intact; legal staff also said restricting who may serve would require a referendum.

Evanston's Rules Committee stands firm, rejecting a move to lower the supermajority requirement for selecting an acting mayor, igniting a heated debate on political trust and governance.
