[grvnc] June 27 Election Still Scheduled

Grass Roots Venice Neighborhood Council Update
##############################################

The GRVNC board voted yesterday to approve
streamlined procedures for the scheduled June 
27th election.  However, a motion to effectively 
amend the bylaws to postpone the election, as 
requested by the LA Department of Neighborhood 
Empowerment, failed to get the necesary 2/3 
super-majority vote.

The Sunday, June 27 Election will no longer have
a vote-by-mail component.  Therefore, all 
stakeholders will need to vote in person at
the Westminster School between 10AM and 4PM.

Also, the deadline for declaring yourself a 
candidate has been extended until Monday,
June 21.  Email candidates@grvnc.org for 
information about how to jump into the race,
it is not too late.  Or, come to the GRVNC
"Meet the Candidates" event on that day,
Monday, June 21st and declare there.
Everybody who is candidate that night will
be put on the printed ballot.  

All voters and candidates will need to show 
identification that proves they are a GRVNC 
stakeholder. The following credentials that have a 
GRVNC (Venice) address will be accepted:

a. Legal document such as a driver's license or 
   California state ID card
b. Business Card
c. Imprinted check
d. Recent utility bill
e. Property tax bill
f. Business license
g. School ID
h. A homeless person may submit an appointment card 
   or a note with an address indicating services 
   received or given in GRVNC boundaries.
i. Proof of a P.O. box in the GRVNC Boundaries, 
   including mail addressed to such P.O. box.

Also, an individual who is not able to produce one of
the credentials listed inabove may instead provide on 
the Stakeholder Declaration Form a description 
of the location of the stakeholder's activity in 
Venice that does not have an address (e.g., "on the 
boardwalk between Thornton Ave and Dudley") and what 
specific time their activity takes place in the 
following week. This is a provisional credential to be

verified after the election.

Polls are open from 10 AM - 4 PM, June 27, 2004

Westminster Elementary School
1010 Abbot Kinney Blvd
Venice

Debate

7:00 - 9:00 PM
Monday, June 21 
Venice United Methodist Church

Come and listen to all of the GRVNC candidates speak!

All the candidates have been invited to give a one to 
two minute long statement to other GRVNC stakeholders
about why they should be elected to the board.  Last 
year this event was held on election day.  Also, a 
press panel will be present to ask questions of, at 
least, the Presidential Candidates. 

Also, declare yourself a candidate at this event.
Bring one of the credentials showing you are a
stakeholder and, if you choose, a statement to give 
about why you want to volunteer and be elected to the 
GRVNC board.  Your name will then go on the printed 
ballot.
