<span style>Hello all,</span><br style><br style><span style>We received questions from several people about completing petitions by the Late Petition Deadline, which is this Monday, April 2nd, at 5pm.</span><br style><br style>
<span style>The late petition deadline was designed for candidates who submitted incomplete paperwork by the regular deadline. Candidates could be granted extensions on a case by case basis by the election commision. The lone exeption to this is when no candidate has submitted a petition by the regular deadline.</span><br style>
<span style>The election code states: "Petitions for these offices will be both distributed and accepted until the late petition deadline. If no petition has been filed for the office by the late deadline, the deadline for that office may be extended by a few more days."</span><br style>
<br style><span style>The two offices we did not receive complete petitions by the regular deadline were the 2015 Treasurer and 2015 Secretary offices. <b>As we currently have a submitted petition for the Treasurer race the deadline will by Monday at 5pm.</b></span><br style>
<span style>If we receive a completed petition for <b>the Secretary office</b> by Monday then that will be the deadline for the Secretary office. <b>If we do not receive a completed petition by Monday for the Secretary race then the deadline will be extended to Wednesday at 5pm</b>. That will be the final extension.</span><br style>
