UPDATE: CERWD Election Results 2013 –

EDGAR CO. (ECWd) –

In a race that we have been watching closely, the CERWD has TWO new Trustees. We would like to extend our thanks to all that came out to vote!

Starting late last year, we circulated a petition for a referendum to change the trustees from appointed to elected. That referendum won by a landslide with an 86% YES vote.

There were a few households in the District that were left off the ballot in the November 2012 election, and we thought that problem was fixed. Turns out, nothing was fixed and there was some last minute corrections made to who was allowed to vote for the trustees. We will be trying to unravel that situation to determine what happened and the process that was followed to determine who could vote and who could not vote for CERWD Trustees. This District is no different, as far as who can vote, than a school district. If you reside within the district boundaries, you can vote. We will update this situation when more information becomes available.
