Nominations for Council Chief in the 2009 Mohawk Council of Kahnaw�:ke By-Election were received today by Electoral Officer Lindsay LeBorgne at the MCK Social Development Unit between 10am and 12pm.

The unofficial nomination list was distributed shortly after nominations closed by Assistant Electoral Officer Arlene Jacobs. A total of thirteen community members were nominated for the one vacant position of Council Chief.

"Nominations went smoothly," said LeBorgne. "Considering it's the second nominations in a short period, I expected it to go over quite well, and it did."

All the unofficial nominees' names will be run through background checks by the Kahnaw�:ke Peacekeepers, the Court of Kahnaw�:ke and the Membership Department. The deadline for all nominees to submit their documentation is on Saturday, August 29th at noon. Please note that candidates also have the right to decline their nominations.
