The Venice City Clerk’s Office has revamped its Election pages on the City website, www.venicegov.com, to make them more user-friendly for prospective City Council candidates.
“Our goal was to provide a place online for individuals who were contemplating a run for public office,” said City Clerk Kelly Michaels. “Let’s face it — elections can be intimidating, so we wanted to provide an area where a person could check it out privately before stepping up to a public process. We also wanted to be able to provide candidates access to the resources and forms they need, on their time schedule, versus limiting them to an appointment during City Hall office hours.”
The new pages can be found on the City website homepage under Government/City Clerk/Election, and include pages for Candidates for Municipal Office, Candidate FAQs, and Campaign Treasurer’s Reports. Information can also be found under I Want To/Run for Municipal Office.
The 2022 election will take place Nov. 8 for Venice City Council Seat Nos. 2, 5, 6 and 7 (Mayor), which are currently held by Council Member Rachel Frank, Vice Mayor Nick Pachota, Council Member Joe Neunder and Mayor Ron Feinsod, respectively. The qualifying week for the 2022 election begins at 12 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 22, 2022, and ends at 12 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 26, 2022.
