Vote for the Citizens Nominating Committee on Wednesday November 16

Residents are encouraged to vote in the election for the Citizens Nominating Committee on Wednesday November 16 at Scarsdale Village Hall from 7:30 – 9 am and 2-9 pm. Two candidates from each of Scarsdale's voting districts will be elected to serve on the Citizen's Nominating Committee that will nominate candidates to serve as Village Trustee, Mayor and Village Justice.

Scarsdale's Non-Partisan System promotes the election of candidates who are qualified by reason of their civic, rather than political, abilities and experience. Village residents elect a Citizens Nominating Committee (CNC), which in turn selects a slate of candidates for the village offices of trustee, mayor and village justice. The system encourages the active participation of all residents. The Non-Partisan System is not the only way candidates can run for village office; under New York State election law, any person who obtains the prescribed number of signatures on a nominating petition can run for village office.

Here are the names of the candidates who are running from each district:

• Edgewood: Ron Sannicandro, Ryan Spicer
• Fox Meadow: Paul Diamond, Timothy Foley, Marc Greenwald, Judy Wenjing Kerr, Hamsa Shadaksharappa
• Greenacres: Daniel Brown, Jonathan Klein, Jon Leslie
• Heathcote: Laura Kaplow-Goldman, Peter Tesler
• Quaker Ridge: Michael Gorelick, Mary Beth Gose, Ron Schulhof

In order to vote you must be eighteen years or older, a U.S. citizen, and a resident of Scarsdale for at least 30 days before Election Day, November 16, 2016. You do not need to be a registered voter.

If you cannot vote at Village Hall, you can mail in your ballot. You can download the mail-in ballot from the Procedure Committee website at: www.ScarsdaleProcedureCommittee.org or obtain one at Village Hall or the Scarsdale Library. Mail-in ballots should be mailed to P.O. Box 284, Scarsdale 10583, and must be received by the Scarsdale Post Office by 5 P.M. on November 16, 2016, the day of the election.
