[GPSCC-chat] ROV request re county council elections

[Jim Doyle]

I received a reminder call from the Registrar of Voters office yesterday.
Here is a copy of an email from the ROV that I posted roughly a week ago:

Hello Jim,

Attached is the memo I received from the Secretary of State’s Office.
It states that now county central committees have the right to remove
the selection of central committee members from the ballot entirely and
develop an alternate method to elect your membership.

I need to know if the Green Party county council will continue to conduct
elections in the same manner as before, which follows the Elections Code,
or will you develop your own method and take it off of the June 5, 2012 
ballot?

Please respond to me at my contact information below by January 23, 2012.
If I have not received a response by that date, our office will continue 
to conduct
your elections in the same manner as we have been pursuant to Elections 
Code.

Thank you.

There is a simple solution. Do nothing. Then the elections for
GPSCC CC will be conducted as before.

The current County Council could make a decision and instruct
the ROV that we will conduct our elections for GOSCC CC in
a different manner if they so chose.

The email was sent to me shortly before while I was on vacation.
I posted this notice to the list about a week ago which was after
I returned from vacation.
