members who are not registered to vote
and tribal members who need a new
signature card. (If the Enrollment clerk
is a candidate for Tribal Council, an
alternate staff person will be designated
to carry out this responsibility.)
Signing and submitting a signature
card allows tribal members to receive a
ballot in the mail, rather than having to
vote in person. Tribal members can
elect to vote in person on election day,
but many voters find it convenient to
vote by absentee ballot rather than
travel to Siletz on election day.
If you do not have a signature card
on file, please contact the Enrollment
Clerk at 1-800-922-1399, ext. 258, or
541 -444-8258. Please leave your name
and mailing address and one will be
mailed to you.
year because of marriage, divorce, or
other legal name change, they need to
fill out and submit a new signature card.
Tribal members who have turned 18
since last year’s election also are
encouraged to submit a signature card.
The burden falls on the tribal member
to stay current on signature cards.
If it has been a long time since you
filed your signature card, you may want
to consider filling out a new one.
One of the most common problems
with existing signature cards is that
tribal members’ signatures have
changed significantly over the years.
Then, when they submit their absentee
ballots, the signatures have the potential
to not match. If it has been a long time
since you filed your signature card, you
may want to consider updating your
signature card as well.
