OPA Board election ballot order set: Daly, Lakernick, Hardy and Farr
Thursday, June 3, 2021
(June 4, 2021) A candidate draw held on Friday officially set the ballot order for the 2021 Ocean Pines Association Board of Directors election.
The ballot order is:
Frank Daly
Stuart Lakernick
David C. Hardy
Richard Farr
One previously announced candidate, Lisa Romersa, has withdrawn from the race.
Ballot order was decided by a deck of four cards, drawn by each candidate and announced by Elections Committee Chairman Steve Habeger.
Two seats on the Board will be up for election this year: those currently held by Daly and Frank Brown. The seven-member volunteer board is the governing body of Ocean Pines.
Habeger said the first candidate forum is scheduled for Wednesday, June 9 at 7 p.m. in the Assateague Room of the Ocean Pines Community Center, on 235 Ocean Parkway.
"The forum will be taped and will be available for replay soon after the forum is finished," he said. "Questions for the candidates can be submitted to
[email protected]
."
Habeger said ballots would be mailed on the week of July 12 and must be received by close of business on Aug. 11.
"Your vote counts and we want to make sure your vote counts. Please make sure your ballot is received by the deadline," he said.
To illustrate the importance of returning the ballot on time, Habeger held up 100 ballots from the recent referendum vote that were received late, and not counted.
"Because they're after the deadline, they're not valid – we don't even open the envelopes," he said. "We do not want to see an election decided by, say, 10 or 12 votes and have 100 unopened ballots."
Habeger said the postal service continues to move slowly, with reports that referendum ballots "took two weeks to get to lower Pennsylvania and central New Jersey."
"If it takes two weeks for the envelope to get there, the clock is ticking," he said. "Please try to get your ballots in on time. We want to count your ballot.
"The easiest and best way to ensure that that happens is to replace the return envelope with the ballot in the drop box in the lobby of the police department," Habeger added.
