Board sets 200-word limit for candidate statements for Nov. 3 election; cost borne by candidates
Summary
The board directed staff to allow 200 words in candidate statements of qualifications and required candidates to bear the cost; motion carried 5-0. The transmittal of election information to the county registrar will proceed under that direction.
The board considered election transmittal information for the November 3, 2026 General Election and set rules for candidate statements. A motion by Director Tyler Diep, seconded by Director Sergio Contreras, directed staff to approve the use of 200 words in the Candidate's Statement of Qualifications and to require that the cost be borne by the candidate rather than the District; the motion passed 5-0.
The board's action governs the length of candidate-submitted statements for the upcoming election and assigns the printing/distribution cost to candidates. The minutes do not specify additional transmittal steps or deadlines; staff will forward the board's direction to the county registrar per standard practice.
