Item No. 17- 22
Date: June 26, 2017
Item/Subject: Order, Appointing Democratic Members of the Registration Appeals
Board
Responsible Department: City Clerk
Commentary: The City Charter and state law, Title 21-A §103, require a Registration Appeals
Board. The purpose of this board is to hear appeals of persons aggrieved by a decision of the
Registrar of Voters to either remove a name from the voting list or refusal to place a name on
the voting list.
The Board consists of three members and two alternates. Two members are nominated by the
major political parties and serve 3 year terms. The chair is nominated by the City Clerk and
serves a 4 year term. There is currently a vacancy in the Democratic regular member position.
The Democratic Parry has requested that the alternate, Gerry Palmer, be moved into the regular
member position and Deborah Johnson be appointed as the alternate member. This order will
appoint Mr. Palmer as the regular member and Deborah Johnson as the alternate member with
terms expiring in 2018 when the parties make new appointments.
