Statement Of Purpose:
The Marin County Election Advisory Committee was established by the Registrar of Voters in 2006. The Advisory Committee has two sub-committees: the Voter Outreach and Education to Low-Turnout Populations Sub-Committee and the Election Integrity/Voter Confidence Subcommittee. Subcommittees may be added or dissolved to fulfill the Committee’s purpose.
The primary purpose of the Advisory Committee is to provide advice and recommendations to the Registrar of Voters on voter participation and election integrity issues as they affect elections held in Marin County. The Advisory Committee:
-
• Provides a link between the voting public and the Registrar of Voters.
• Advises the Registrar of Voters to ensure that every voter has the opportunity to vote knowledgeably, safely and effectively.
Members of the Committee must be registered voters in Marin County. The Registrar of Voters selects 20 members who are from various geographic areas of the county and who have different points of view and interests in the elections process. Members must be willing to attend most of the meetings of the Committee or its subcommittees. Applications for this committee are accepted continuously.
For more information about the Election Advisory Committee, please contact Elaine Ginnold, Registrar of Voters at eginnold@marincounty.org (415) 473-6401.
