» 72nd Assembly General and Mission Viejo Recall Election Just a Few Weeks Away
I would like to wish everyone the best during the holiday season. It is a time to reflect on the year that has past and look forward to the promise of the New Year. 2010 will be busy as we kick it off with two special elections. Look for more information on the new Poll Worker PASS in the coming months that will streamline our communications with you and allow you access to your personal volunteer history.

» Mission Viejo Questions on the Recall Ballot

On February 2nd Voters in Mission Viejo will have two questions on their ballot. Should your councilman be recalled? - and - If the councilman is recalled, who should replace him? There are two candidates to choose from. It is important to remember that these two questions stand alone. Voters may vote on one or both questions. Either way their vote will count. If a majority of the voters vote to remove the officer sought to be recalled, then the candidate receiving the highest number of votes for the office shall be elected for the unexpired term.

 
» Training for the Upcoming Elections              Training for poll workers volunteering for the 72nd Assembly District Special General election has been simplified.  Returning Clerks (from November) are excused from training. Only Inspectors and those Clerks who did not work during the special primary will be trained.  This training consists of an on-line test designed to have volunteers consider certain Election Day scenarios. Only Inspectors will be required to attend classroom training for the Mission Viejo special Recall Election on Feb 2.  Clerks will be placed in an on-line training.
