Garber to collect committee rosters; commissioner contact rules for voters pamphlet explained
Summary
Commissioner Garber said she will collect committee chair and member contact information and deliver it to the elections office; counsel advised that only committee contact information (not county email) should be listed in the voters pamphlet and explained who may be printed as the designated contact.
Commissioner Garber told the commission she will collect the names and contact information for for-and-against committees and take them to the elections office, asking members to send details to her personal account.
"I will coordinate it and take all of them over to the elections office," Garber said, describing a deadline and offering to fill out appointment forms on behalf of committees. Counsel clarified that committees must provide a single contact for printing in the local voters pamphlet and that additional contact information can be submitted to the elections office for administrative use but not necessarily published.
Joma emphasized that the voters pamphlet is an official government document and recommended that commissioners not use county email addresses for published contact information; she also explained that committees sometimes create separate campaign email accounts for outreach and that the auditor's or elections office will accept friendly, neutral edits to ballot explanatory statements at its discretion to avoid litigation.
