JUNE 1, 2002 Smoke Signals 9 GOT IK BIOS As you may have seen from the notices in the Smoke Signals, the Tribal Council, in consultation with the Election Board and the Tribal Attorney's Office, made various technical updates and substantive changes to the Election Ordinance to provide for a more efficient election process. The Election Board would like to bring to the Tribal membership's attention the following changes: H Only those Tribal members who have a Signature Verification Form on file with the Election Board will be sent an absentee ballot. This change was made to avoid the confusion where Tribal members receive absentee ballots, fill out the ballots, and return the ballots, but the ballots are not counted because the Tribal member did not have a Signa ture Verification Form on file, which is required in order to ensure that the vote cast in the name of a Tribal member is in fact cast by that Tribal mem ben ' In an effort to get Signature Verification Forms from all Tribal members wanting to participate in the Election, the board will be sending out Signa ture Verification Forms to those Tribal members who are eligible to vote but do not yet have a Signature Verification Form on file. These mailings will go out shortly after nominations. If you already have a Signature Verification Form on file, you do not have to file another one, unless your name has changed. If you are not sure whether you have a Signature Verification Form on file, or would like to request one, please call the Election Board at 503-879-2271 or 800-422-0232. D A Tribal member's signature on the Signature Verification Form can now be verified either by a notary public OR by attaching a legible copy of a Tribal Identification Card, Drivers License, state issued Identification Card, or Passport which bears the signature of the Tribal member. O The Election Board will receive and maintain the Signature Verification Forms and will prepare and distribute the voters address list rather than the Enrollment Office. The restriction on remaining, loitering or campaigning near the polling place on Election Day has been extended to 150 feet of any entrance to the polling place. Absentee ballots must be received at the location designated by the Board Chairperson (usually the Post Office) by noon on the day of the Election. mn GRAND RONDE TRIBAL HOUSING AUTHORITY REQUEST FOR STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS LOW RENT HOUSING PROJECT Statements due 3:00 p.m., June 7, 2002.
