Title
Registrar of Voters- Make Appointments to Special District Boards and Community Planning Groups and Post Vacancies (Districts: All)
End
Overview
Special district and community planning group elections are consolidated with the November 3, 2026, Statewide General Election. When the number of candidates for office on a special district board or community planning group does not exceed the number of positions to be filled, the Board of Supervisors (Board) must appoint the candidates for these offices in lieu of conducting an election. When there are fewer candidates than the number of positions available, the Board also has the responsibility to fill the vacancies by appointing individuals who are nominated by the Supervisors of the applicable districts. (See Elections Code Section 10515; and Board Policies A-77 (Appointments to Fill Vacancies and Cancellation of Election where Insufficient Nominations Filed Prior to Uniform District Election and Citizen Planning Group Election) and I-1 (Planning and Sponsor Group Policies and Procedures).)
Today’s action requests the Board to appoint nominees to designated positions and to accept the list of remaining vacancies requiring appointments pursuant to Elections Code Section 10515.
Body
Recommendation by Chief Administrative Officer:
1) Appoint the nominees to designated positions in the specific special districts and community planning groups in which there are candidates, but the number of candidates equals or is less than the number of positions to be filled (Attachment A, on file with the Clerk of the Board).
2) Accept the list of vacancies requiring appointments and direct the Clerk of the Board to post the vacancy listings and notify the special districts and the community planning groups of these vacancies (Attachment B, on file with the Clerk of the Board).
