34 <br /> Page 2 of 2 Krishna Mondal <br /> Commissioner Dorosin stated that voter confusion stems from the unique scenario whereby <br /> during presidential elections years two Dist. 1 seats become vacant and voters need to vote for <br /> 2 rather than 1 person. Since candidates running in other commissioner races dona€TMt face <br /> such a situation, the Dist. 1 candidate may feel that there is a system flaw that put them at a <br /> disadvantage. <br /> All candidates should get equal treatment before the law. I believe the goal of this BOCC <br /> Elections Advisory Group to review potential options by which BOCC members are elected is an <br /> excellent idea. I wish to contribute to developing an alternate method that provides equitable <br /> treatment of the candidates as well as clear election practices that voters can easily understand. <br /> Contribution to the diversity of viewpoints on this board: <br /> To this board I bring my years of experience of working with highly diverse voting populations not <br /> only in our county but also across the state. People need encouragement to vote, especially in <br /> the a€ceunexcitinga€[focal elections. They need to know how important their voices are in <br /> making local decisions. My interactions with voters have made me adept at listening and <br /> understanding their needs and encouraging them to participate in local government and <br /> elections. <br /> On a personal level, I am an Asian-American in a mixed marriage raising biracial children. In <br /> Orange County, people with my demographic profile are increasing but are often not <br /> participating in community processes. I can contribute my familiarity and knowledge of living, <br /> working, and raising children in this community. <br /> Conflict of Interest: <br /> Boards/Commissions appointments: <br /> Other Comments: <br /> This application was current on: 12/21/2020 2:24:00 PM Date Printed: 12/21/2020 <br />
