2023 Procedure Committee Invites Residents to Run for CNC

To the Editor: The Procedure Committee (PC) invites Scarsdale residents to run for a position on the nonpartisan Citizens Nominating Committee (CNC). Thirty voting members on the CNC, six representing each of the five elementary school districts, will interview, evaluate, and select candidates running on the nonpartisan slate for open Village offices in the March 19, 2024 Village Election.

A candidate for membership on the CNC must be a qualified voter (18 years of age or older) and a resident of Scarsdale for at least two years. The CNC application is simple, consisting of a biographical form and a 10-signature petition signed by the applicant’s neighbors. Instructions for filing can be downloaded on the PC’s website at www.scarsdaleprocedurecommittee.org. The deadline for submitting the CNC application is Saturday, September 30, 2023. The CNC election will be held on Tuesday, November 14, 2023 from 7 am to 9 pm or by mail-in ballot.

The CNC meets 5 or 6 times on weekday evenings at 8 PM at the Scarsdale Library. CNC meeting dates for 2023-2024 are Tuesday, November 28, 2023 (Organization Meeting); Wednesday, December 13, 2023; Wednesday, December 20, 2023; Wednesday, January 10, 2024; Wednesday, January 17, 2024; and if necessary, Wednesday, January 24, 2024. By its last meeting date the CNC will nominate a nonpartisan slate of candidates for the open positions on this year on the Scarsdale Board of Trustees.
