NEWS: Special election to fill 2B05 vacancy

There will be a special election to fill the vacancy for Commissioner for the Single Member District (SMD) 2B05.  The special election will take place at the ANC’s March 13, 2013 public meeting.

At the ANC’s February public meeting, the Commission voted on the rules of the special election.:

  • The polls will be open from 7:15pm until 9:30pm.
  • The election manager will be Gottlieb Simon of the Office of ANCS.  Mr. Simon has managed many special ANC elections over the years.
  • By coin toss, candidate Dito Sevilla will be first on the ballot, and candidate Abigail Nichols will be second on the ballot.

The winner will be determined immediately after the close of the ballot box, and the ANC will confirm the winner by vote.   The full special election procedures as approved by the ANC are enclosed here: Special Election Rules 2B05 (PDF)

NEWS: ANC Candidate Forum 10/22/12

On Monday, October 22 at 7:00pm, the Community Involvement Committee of ANC2B will host a candidate forum for all ANC candidates standing on the ballot for election on November 6.  The forum will be held at the Chastleton Ballroom located at 1701 16th St NW – within the boundaries of ANC 2B04, where three candidates are competing for the seat that will be vacated by outgoing Commissioner Jack Jacobson.

The Forum will be moderated by resident activists Iris Molotsky and Michael Beidler and will begin at 7:00pm.  All candidates will have the opportunity to give 2 minute opening statements to the public.  Candidates in the two competitive seats (2B03 and 2B04) will then be asked several questions by the moderators.  Following these questions, members of the public will be able to ask questions to candidates in competitive or non-competitive seats.  The moderators may choose to alter this format as they see fit.

Write-in candidates or candidates for other offices are welcome to attend the event and distribute literature, but will not be provided time for statements or receiving questions.

The event will end no later than 8:30pm, so that attendees can make it home in time for the final Presidential debate.
