Two People Could Win Park Board Seats with Write-In Campaigns – 103 Votes Needed
Five seats are up at the Crystal Lake park Board in April’s election.
The Crystal Lake Park Board in October, 2012.
Terms are expiring for
- Deborah Gallagher
- Jerry Sullivan
- Angel Collins
- Caroline Bachour-Chemaly
- Thomas Aquilina
But there are only three people running for the Park Board:
- Angel Collins
- Caroline Bachour-Chemaly
- Thomas Aquilina
That means two people can gain office through write-in campaigns.
Park District Executive Director Jayson Herbster informs me that it took 103 signatures to get on the ballot. That means it would take 103 write-in good votes to gain a seat on the Park Board. 103 people would have to put an “X” in the box and write one’s name on the line.
Thursday, February 7th, is the last day a person may file a notarized Declaration of Intent to be a write-in candidate with the proper election authority.
