The names and statements of the candidates are posted on this website.
For the health of our community, the meeting will be held out-of-doors, with hygiene protocols including physical distancing and face masks. Hand sanitizers will be available in dispensers.
Residents who cannot attend on Thursday, April 15, will have an additional opportunity to vote on Saturday, April 17, between 4 and 7pm, in the Rockridge Library parking lot at 5366 College Avenue. All activities will be out-of-doors and will follow the health protocols described above.
All voting will be by written ballot. Residents are welcome to use their own pens. Disposable pens will also be provided. The polling tables will remain open until residents in line by 9pm on Thursday and 7pm on Saturday have finished voting. All qualifying voters who have a ballot will have an opportunity to vote.
