Three Board seats will be up for election this spring. Those seats are currently filled by Lawrence Heilman, Peter Kilborn, and Allison Shuren. Peter Kilborn has indicated that he will seek re-election. Neither Larry Heilman nor Allison Shuren plan to run again.
Any Village resident may run for a seat on the Board provided he/she is a registered qualified voter in the State of Maryland and has lived in Chevy Chase Village for thirty days prior to the election. Board members serve two-year, staggered terms.
If the number of candidates equals the number of available seats, the candidates will be elected by acclamation at the Annual Meeting on Monday, April 16. If the number of candidates exceeds the number of available seats, a contested election will be held on Saturday, May 5.
The Village Elections Committee oversees Village elections, including receiving nominations to the Board of Managers. Residents interested in running for a seat may contact Elections Committee Chair Charlotte Jones-Carroll by email at cjonescarroll@aol.com. Nominations may also be made from the floor at the Annual Meeting (Wednesday, April 16, 2012).
The Village Code requires that candidates file a Financial Disclosure Statement with the Village Ethics Commission (Chair, Margot Anderson) prior to the election. Forms are available in the Village office or by email at ccv@montgomerycountymd.gov.
