Initial counts for the petition signing are in with more coming in on a daily basis.
To date, we have received roughly 700 signatures for the petition drive to get a special election to dissolve Polk City!! Just under 400 of them had stated that they are registered voters in city limits. I have personally been able to verify approximately 225 so far. The remaining will have to be verified by the Supervisor of Elections Office. They will also double check the ones we have verified for accuracy.
The response to our petition drive has FAR exceeded our expectations. We have been told by individuals who have lived here for several decades that this blew away any previous records for turn out for any previous petitions as well as prior in-city elections. We are proud of the area residents for voicing their opinions on this topic and congratulate you on the success of this petition. We couldn't have done it without you!
We are still accepting signatures, but we would like you to get them in to us ASAP. It takes time for the Supervisor of Elections office to verify the registered voters and the sooner we can get these turned in, the sooner we can get them back to present to the City Officials. We are trying to get them all in by the end of the week (9/17/10) so we can get them back from the Elections office before the regular city meeting scheduled for 2nd Tuesday of October, the 12th.
Thanks again for your support,
Lisa B. Shifflett
