Catawba County Board of Elections accepts City's Referendum Date and Language - July 24, 2012

Today the Catawba County Board of Elections accepted the City's Election Date and Language for the upcoming Referendum on Ward Specific voting. The Date is set for Sepember 18th with early voting beginning August 30th. Last day for voter registration so you would be eligible for this issue is August 24th.

I asked the question about if the language for the referendum had already been written, the answer was no. Further, I asked who would write the language and the answer was that the City would write the language. I asked about challenging such language if need be. Mr. Hood stated that they were not there to give legal advice, which was understood, but stated that would be a question to ask the CEG attorney. There was also a discussion about PAC's directly pertaining to the financial support and advocacy of this issue.

Who is the CEG attorney? Did he/she disagree with the language?

Are you still there or did I ask a no no?

Yes there is a CEG attorney pertaining to this referendum. The atty wasn't present yesterday. The question, by me, wasn't about the referendum language. It is about language of the ordinance should the referendum pass.
