Q: How do I report an election code violation for central committee in riverside county?
A member who was registered with a different party was appointed to NW caucus deputy vice chair we did not know he was a member of different party but we want him removed. This individual has now pulled papers to run for central committee but he hasn’t been registered with the party for a year so we also want his application to be declined if it’s not properly reviewed.
A:
If the central committee is a political organization, the NW caucus deputy vice chair's removal would be the political organization's issue. The state wouldn't have authority to do anything.
Why hasn't the caucus done anything?
A:
To report an election code violation in Riverside County, California, you should contact the Riverside County Registrar of Voters. They handle election-related concerns and can guide you on the appropriate process for filing a complaint.
For the specific issue of a member being registered with a different party and seeking a position on the central committee, you can also reach out to the political party's local or state office. Each party has its own rules and bylaws governing the eligibility of committee members and candidates. They can provide guidance on how to address this situation within the party's framework.
If the matter involves potential violations of California election laws, you might consider contacting the California Secretary of State's office. They oversee state election laws and can offer assistance or direct you to the right department for handling such concerns.
In any legal matter, it's also advisable to consult with an attorney experienced in election law to ensure that you're following the correct procedures and to understand your legal rights and options.
