November Election

There are three four-year and one two-year positions on the Board of Directors coming up for reelection in November. The following steps are required if you are still interested in serving on our Board. 

Declaration of Candidacy forms will be available from July 13 until 5 p.m. Aug. 7 at the Elections office by appointment, or by email request to: [email protected]

Candidates wishing to submit a candidate's statement, of no more than 200 words, for printing and distribution to the voters, must submit such statement for filing at the same time the Declaration of Candidacy is filed. The statement must be prepared on a form supplied by the Elections Division.

The provisions of Elections Code Section 13307 provide for payment of the estimated cost of printing and handling the statement at the time of filing the Declaration of Candidacy, unless the District has elected to cover the costs.

Estimated candidate statement costs shown for cities, schools and special districts are based on the election method (i.e. at large or by trustee area) and district boundaries in place at the time the estimate was prepared. Subsequent changes to election method or boundaries may change the cost of the candidate statement.
