Menifee Union School Board elections

The presidential election should be enough to get everyone to the ballots. If you think you may have a problem, be sure to request an absentee or mail in ballot. You only have until the 28th of October to request a mail-in ballot, although they can be delivered to any polling place up until election day.

There are other issues that affect us in California as well as here in Menifee, and the biggest may be our Menifee Union School Board elections. The Menifee Union School District is by far the largest employer in Menifee, and the school board along with our School Superintendent Linda Callaway has many changes and challenges in the coming school years.

At the end of this academic year the District is moving all schools to a modified traditional calendar; they have opened two new elementary schools and will be opening a third middle school soon. The school board is also changing. Three vacancies need to be filled this election, and MenifeeLIVE.com has teamed up with Steve from Menifee247.com to help you meet the school board candidates.

MUSD Board Election

I'd just like to congratulate the newest members of the MUSD board and thank all of the candidates for their hard work and dedication to our schools, the staff, the students and the parents of Menifee. We are fortunate to have so many qualified and interested candidates who all have great ideas for our schools.

The Race is NOT OVER

Just so you know...it isn't over, til it's over. It isn’t over until it’s over, and with such a close race for School Board members, it’s not yet appropriate to declare the winners. I spoke to Doug at the Registrars office this morning to clarify a press release that several local elections warranted a mandatory check of either 1% or 10% of the precinct votes. It's mostly a manual quality control check that's done with close elections. He assured me that the results will NOT be certified until Dec 2nd, maybe a day or so earlier. County wide there were over 47000 provisional BLUE ballots still to be researched and counted, and even if only a small percentage were Menifee, the margins are such that there could still be some changes in the outcome. Provisional ballot research does not begin until November 24 and there was a very high % of last minute registrations that contributed to the high number of provisional ballots. The tally of qualified write-in candidates will begin the week of Nov17th. Provisional ballot research will begin the week of Nov 24th. Final Ballots include Provisional and uncounted duplicated ballots will be counted Nov 28th – Dec 1st.
