Show your support for changing the Lindenhurst Board of Education Election from separate and specific seats to an election at large.
CURRENTLY: Candidates petition to run for ONE separate and specific board of education trustee seat that is up for election. The nominee with the majority of votes for that separate and specific seat wins. Voting is for each open seat separately.
PROPOSED: In an Election at large, candidates petition to run for an open seat. The nominees with the most votes get elected to the open seats. If two seats are open, Voting is for two of the nominees without regard to who is currently in that seat.

The momentum is undeniable now. It is time for the board to face the reality of these numbers.

This will certainly help with getting NEW people to run and not the same people just switching seats. Always need new ideas and fresh approaches!
i agree i think it will bring more candidates out. I think it will take the intimidation of running against someone else ..less hardship less feelings ruffled just a better way to do things .
And good luck to the incumbents and the contenders.
Yes I agree
Good idea
Sure why not!
I agree!

When I ran for a seat on the Lindenhurst BOE I had to pick the seat (person) I wanted to oppose. I was not at all comfortable with that idea. It rather smacks of hostility and negative politics. I believe the change may encourage others to run for the board.
