The Siletz Tribal Council has approved a new signature card along with revisions to
the Election Ordinance regarding the process of verifying the new signature cards.
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.
