From information provided by University Community Planning Group (UCPG) Chair Chris Nielsen: The University Community Planning Group (UCPG) will hold its annual March 2024 election for four residential seats for terms beginning April 9, 2024 on March 12, 2024. There are no business seats to be elected this time. For this year’s election we’re pleased to offer drop off ballot boxes at the two UC libraries for your convenience. We encourage all UCPG members to take advantage of this and cast your vote.

Details are summarized below; the official 2024 Notice of Elections is available at: https://www.sandiego.gov/sites/default/files/2024-02/2024_UCPG_Notice_of_Elections.pdf

Candidates running as follows:

There was a Candidate’s Forum at the February 13 UCPG meeting. Candidate statements of those submitted for publication (Darren Esposito, Tim Garrett, Joann Selleck) may be found in the March print University City News newsletter at: https://www.universitycitynews.org/ucca-newsletter-archives/

March voting procedures will be as in the past few years. From March 4 to March 11 a ballot box will be available at each of the two UC public libraries to cast a ballot. Ballots and instructions will be posted no later than Friday March 1 and may be found here: sandiego.gov/planning/community/profiles/university/agendas

In person voting will also be available at our UCPG meeting location: 9880 Campus Pointe Drive, third floor, from 5PM to 8PM, on March 12 . We’ll use the patio area outside. This has the additional advantage of providing an outdoor, but covered, voting location in case of rain. Thanks to Alexandria for this multi-purpose location.

All current members of the University Community are eligible to vote for candidates of their membership type (residential or business) in the district where they reside. Any member of the community who is not yet a UCPG member may sign up and vote in person on March 12, 2024, between 5PM and 8PM at 9880 Campus Point Drive.
