Cecil County Primary Election drop box information, candidates that are running, and dates and times.

Two meetings into the redistricting process and Carl Roberts is behaving exactly how concerned citizens feared he would. Not only has he lost his temper, shouted down commission members, and been the deciding vote in ruling out the only maps offered by another member of the commission, but he is also using his post to stall, convolute, and steer the redistricting process. The Redistricting Plan must be presented to the Council no later than November 15th. Due to a Council created crisis, the Redistricting Commission was not formed until only a few weeks ago, leaving little time for the important redistricting process to play out. Not only has the Council handcuffed the ability of the redistricting commission to be thorough and independent, but they have also placed their puppet in the driver’s seat.

Per the language of the Cecil County Charter, the responsibility for filling this vacancy falls to the Cecil County Republican Central Committee. We will be holding interviews before submitting a list of nominations to the County Council by 11/16/2021.
