8/27/10 - The Elections Office's request for a waiver from the Federal requirement that all absentee ballots be sent out to overseas military and civilian voters at least six weeks before an election, was denied. Because our primary election is scheduled to occur exactly six weeks before the general election, and what with the necessity to design and print the ballots after the primary election, we cannot meet that requirement. Our Primary Election will have to be moved to sometime in August beginning in 2012.
A Task Force on election laws recommended an earlier Primary even before the new requirement was added, because the Elections Office had to rush to get the ballots readied for the General Election and distributed, etc., and you know that rushing brings mistakes that otherwise might be avoided...
