The five city charter amendments that were supposed to be on Memphis voters' Aug. 1 ballot are being moved to November, the Daily Memphian reports. Shelby County Elections Coordinator Linda Phillips said she did not receive the text of the ballot questions — including a multi-part question on gun control and one that would mandate a mayoral candidate live in the city for two years — by the deadline for them to be included on the August ballot. City Council Chief Administrative Officer Brooke Hyman told the paper that the referendums have been moved to November to give the public more time to learn about the proposals.
