November 5th, 6-9:00 PM – Nominations for one band councilor were held at the Eke Me-Xi school. On Friday evening, approximately 20 people visited to see who was nominated or to nominate someone.
Twelve Nominees were registered by 9:00 PM , now they need to pass the tests of eligibility (such as living on the reserve and they agree to be nominated). Their names will be on the ballot for the ADVANCE Polls on November 12th at 6-9:00 PM and again for the Election Day November 19th 8:00 AM-8:00 PM.
Politics is not for the faint of heart or thin of skin. It’s an odd, tough business, where the nice often finish last.
The dictionary says NOMINATE means:
1. the act of officially naming a candidate
2. it is the condition of having been proposed as a suitable candidate for appointment or election
Thank you everyone for attending and now please encourage people to get out and VOTE!
