2022 Procedure Committee Invites Residents to Run for CNC

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 Tuesday, March 15, 2023 Village Election.

A candidate for membership on the CNC must be a qualified voter (U.S. citizen and 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 here.

The deadline for submitting the CNC application is Friday, September 30, 2022. The CNC election will be held at the Scarsdale Library on Tuesday, November 15, 2022 from 7 am to 9 pm or by mail-in ballot.

The CNC meets 5 or 6 times on weekday evenings beginning at the end of November 2022, venue to be announced. CNC meeting dates for 2022-2023 are: Monday, November 28, 2022 (Organization Meeting); Wednesday, December 7, 2022; Wednesday, December 14, 2022; Wednesday, January 4, 2023; Wednesday, January 11, 2023; and if necessary Wednesday, January 18, 2023. If in person meetings are not feasible, the CNC will meet virtually on the Zoom platform instead.
The PC is still accepting public comments on proposed amendments to the Non-Partisan Resolution until September 30.
