CAC ELECTION UPDATE
These are challenging times, but clearly the residents of Clintonville and the candidates for the 4 commission seats that are up for election his year are up to the challenge. On Thursday, April 23, the election committee processed 67 properly submitted requests for ballots, and ballots were mailed in the early evening. Clearly competition brings out voters because 31 requests came from District 2 and 27 came from District 5. These are the districts with 2 candidates each. In districts 1 and 9 the incumbents are unopposed for reelection and there were requests for 3 ballots in District 1 and 2 ballot in District 9. Unfortunately we could not process 13 requests, because there were no self addressed stamped envelope included. Two more requests were sent to the general CAC PO Box but also failed to include a self addressed stamped envelope.
The committee has TENTATIVELY decided to open the envelopes with the ballots inside at the Whetstone Library doors facing the parking lot at 2:15 on May 2. It is public, has parking, has space for people to spread out, and IS a familiar place for people in the community. We look forward to welcoming our newly elected commissioners soon!!!!
