Update from Tribal Elections

Greetings and Happy New Year Gila River Indian Community Members!!!

The Tribal Elections Program (TEP) would like to provide you an update of what is going on with our Program.

At present we are preparing for the next election in May. Look for the Election Schedule that is being posted throughout the community for Districts’ Two, Three, Four, Five, Six and Seven, whose Community Council Representative’s term will be up in June of 2010.

Tribal Elections has also made a slight change with the voter registration application and the process. This is in no way affecting you to register to vote; it will only help TEP streamline applications that come forward to our office and with the verification process through the Enrollment/Census Department. The new applications will be out soon.

Recently the Tribal Elections Office has undergone a voter registration application audit and based upon the findings we will be sending out letters to those it involved.

We are working on producing Voter Registration cards; once they are complete, we will be mailing them out to all registered voters who have current addresses on file. We are urging you to update your address prior to the upcoming election. You can also review the names on the Returned Mail List posted on our web page at www.myGilaRiver.com/elections

As always, we look for occasions/events to be available to the public to provide you the opportunity to register to vote; look out for notifications as to where we will be set up next. You can also call your District Judge/Chief Judge to register and update your information as well.

For further information, contact our office at (520) 562-9735 or 562-9758.
