From Da' Katz Campaign

Kevin --

I'd like to thank Paul Hogarth for helping to get out the message about the run-off. However, I do have a few clarifications:

1. Ballots will actually be mailed Friday, November 15th and should be received that Saturday 11/16 or Monday 11/18 at the latest. This mailing will include all registered voters as of 10/21/02. So, students should look out for the envelopes and send them in right away. The envelopes will have a red stripe at the top that reads "CITY OF BERKELEY MAIL BALLOT ELECTION".

2. For any voter who registers between 10/21-11/18, their ballot will be mailed on November 20th and should be received by 11/21.

3. Any voter who does not receive a ballot in the above timeframes (or loses their ballot) should immediately call the City Clerk's office at 510.981.6900. They will mail out a second ballot to the voter.

4. The deadline to cast ballots is December 3, 2002. This is NOT a postmark deadline. Ballots must actually be received in the clerk's office by this date. That means that all students must mail their ballots in BEFORE they leave for Thanksgiving break. After that time, you must drop your ballot off in-person at Clerk's office, located at 2180 Milvia Street.

5. We do need help retiring our campaign debt and raising money for the run-off. Individuals may give up to $250 for the previous election and an additional $250 for the run-off election. We will also be accepting credit card contributions online shortly. Please note that all contributions received will be credited toward retiring our debt up to the $250 per person limit. Contributions in excess of that limit will be credited toward the run-off election.

I hope that helps clarify election procedures.

Noah
