[THIS MESSAGE COMES FROM AN EXTERNAL EMAIL-USE CAUTION WHEN REPLYING AND
OPENING LINKS OR ATTACHMENTS]
Good afternoon,
As we transition into our new roles as the Office of the Supervisor of Elections,we cautiously requested a Ballot Issues
Deadline of 75 days prior to election date though historically have had a 60-day deadline.For the remainder of the 2025
election cycle year,we are advising of a 60-day deadline.The updated Ballot Issue Deadline for the November 4,2025,
Election is COB,Friday,Septem ber 5,2025.
As we work with the September 5,2025,deadline,please keep in mind the timeline to review and approve your
translation will be 48 hours from the date you are provided the translation.This is primarily due to logistical needs
required prior to the coding,testing,printing and mailing of VBM ballots to voters.As always,we encourage you to
provide finalized resolution with your ballot wording prior to the deadline,to optimize the review/approval process for
all parties involved.
If you have any questions,feel free to contact me.
Best regards,
