Q
Proposed changes to the
Election Ordinance
The following summarizes the pro
posed changes to the Tribe's Election
Ordinance. Under the Tribal Gov
ernment Ordinance, tribal members
must receive notice of all major ordi
nance amendments.
The Tribal Council, in consultation
with the Tribal Attorney's office, has
proposed amendments to the Tribal
Election Ordinance. These amend
ments are intended to improve the
election process.
The amendments require that the
Election Board "solicit bids from firms
to provide the Board with election
equipment and supplies, ballot collec
tion, counting and technical support."
Bids received will be submitted to the
Tribal Council and the Council may
select one of the firms to provide the
Election Board with technical support.
Alternatively, the Election Board
may, with prior approval of the
Tribal Council, negotiate an intergov
ernmental agreement with the County
Clerk for Polk or Yamhill County to
provide the Board with technical sup
port. Any firm hired to assist the Elec
tion Board will be limited to perform
ing non-supervisory tasks; the Elec
tion Board will remain solely responv
sible for the supervision of Elections,
including the work of any firm hired
to assist with elections. If no firm is
hired or no agreement with Polk or
Yamhill County is made to assist the
Board within 75 days of a Tribal
Council election, then the Board it
self will perform all work related to
the election.
The proposed amendments also in
clude a provision requiring an auto
matic recount of election results if
there is a difference of 1 or less
between the 3rd and 4th place candi
dates in a Tribal Council election. In
addition to the automatic recount, can
didates also may request a recount.
Each request for a recount must be
accompanied by a $50 deposit (which
may be waived if it appears that be
cause of a material error of the Board,
the outcome of the election will be
changed). If two or more demands
for recount of a Tribal Council elec
tion are made, the demand received
from the candidate with the highest
number of votes shall be considered
the demand recount. If the election
results are changed as a result of the
recount, the $50 deposit shall be re
funded. If the election results do not
change, the cost of the recount will
be billed to the candidate requesting
the recount. . ,
Other technical amendments have
been proposed to make the election
process more efficient. For a copy
of the proposed amendments please
contact the Tribal Attorney's Office
at (503) 879-2265.. The Tribal Coun
cil invites comments to the proposed
amendments. Please send your com
ments to the Tribal Attorney's office,
9615 Grand Ronde Rd., Grand
Ronde, OR 97347. Comments must
be received by April 15, 1998.
