Hello ,

The endorsement vote is scheduled for Monday, April 18, 2022, at our next General Membership meeting. As a reminder, per the Club by-laws as amended on 11/16/2021: “A General Member in good standing who has attended at least two (2) prior meetings, as a member, in the previous twelve (12) months shall be eligible to vote for Club Officer elections and Club endorsements.” Only those members who meet the above voting eligibility requirements will receive an email from the Democratic Woman’s Club Endorsement Committee with your secure ballot to vote at the meeting.If you are eligible to vote, you will receive an email with your ballot on Wednesday, April 13, titled:Your April 18, DWCSD Endorsement Ballot is HEREPlease be sure to open and read your email carefully, as it will contain all theinformation you need to participate in our scheduled endorsement meeting. If you meet the eligibility to vote criteria and do not see the email with your ballot in your inbox, please check your spam/junk mail folder. If you still cannot find the email, please contact me as soon as possible, so we can research and get your ballot to you before the date of the meeting.The email will also contain the Zoom link registration for the meeting, a link to view the candidate questionnaires, and a personalized secure link to your voting ballot.For those of you eligible to vote who have multiple DWC-SD members in your family, but use only one email address, we will send separate emails for each eligible club member in your family. These are not duplicate emails. Each one should be addressed to only one of you. Since each ballot is personalized and secure, each member needs to receive their own email to be able to vote. So, if your family falls in this category, please be sure to look for separate emails for each of the DWC-SD members in your family and ensure each of you vote using the links in the email addressed to you.Here is the link to register for the April 18, meeting:https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZcod-mtqjwqG9YxBoky6Ma9E8-i58tKLp-O.

• CA State Controller: Malia Cohen, Ron Galperin, Yvonne Yiu

Reminder, in races where there are more than two candidates running, we will use our Ranked Choice voting process to determine if any candidate meets the 60% vote threshold required to receive the Club’s endorsement. “No Endorsement” will always be an option and the number of votes for No Endorsement will be included when determining the Club’s position on this race. General members in good standing who are not eligible to vote will also be sent an email with a link to access and review the completed candidate questionnaires. Access to the candidate questionnaires and the endorsement ballot will be open until the end of the voting period on the day of the meeting. Members eligible to vote will be able to vote anytime between receipt of your ballot email and close of voting on the date of the meeting. While you will be able to vote early, you will only be able to vote once.Please mark your ballot carefully because if you make a mistake, you will not be able to correct it once the ballot has been submitted.We will briefly review the Ranked Choice Process at the meeting.Please contact me if you have further questions.Regards,Yvonne Elkin (she, her, hers)DWCSD Endorsement [email protected]
