The significant change includes new verification options that can reduce the involvement of the Enrollment Department in the signature verification process. The new verification process provides Tribal members the opportunity to have their signature notarized or provide a copy of current identification with name, address and signature to verify the signature card. If neither of those options is available, the Enrollment Department will still assist in verifying signatures with documen tation on file. The new signature cards have been mailed to all Tribal members 18 and over. With the election just a few months away, it is very important that the new signature card be returned as soon as possible. 4 p.m. Dec. 21, 2011 Deadline to file for candidacy 4 p.m. Dec. 21, 2011 Deadline to submit a photo and/or candidate's statement for inclusion in the Tribal Voter's Pamphlet Dec. 28, 2012 Certified Candidates List will be posted Week of Jan 2, 2012 Election Deadlines 4 p.m. 4 p.m. 9 a.m. Dec. 21,2011 Dec. 21,2011 Dec. 28, 2011 Week of Jan. 2,2012 Jan. 7, 2012 4 p.m. 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Jan. 27, 2012 Feb. 4,2012 4 p.m. Feb. 4, 2012 Deadline to file for candidacy Deadline to submit a photo and/or candidate’s statement for inclusion in the Tribal Voter’s Pamphlet Certified Candidates List posted Absentee ballots mailed out Candidates Fair at Chinook Winds TENTATIVE Deadline to request a mail-in ballot In-person Voting - Tribal Elections, Tribal Community Center, Siletz Deadline for returning absentee ballots Absentee ballots mailed out 9 a.m. Jan. 7, 2012 Candidates Fair at Chinook Winds - NOT CONFIRMED 4 p.m. Jan. 27, 2012 Deadline to request a mail-in ballot 10a.m.-4 p.m. Feb. 4, 2012 In-person Voting-Tribal Elections, Tribal Community Center, Siletz 4 p.m. Feb. 4, 2012 Deadline for returning absentee ballots If you have any questions, please contact the Election Board at 800-922-1399, ext. 1256, or 541-444-8256; or e-mail elections@ctsi.nsn.us. i November 2011 • Siletz News • 9
