The 2020 General Election Caucus scheduled for March 14 has been cancelled. In an effort to prevent the spread of COVID-19, the Nation will follow the Public Health official’s recommendation to not hold large gatherings. We understand this decision may inconvenience those that planned to travel to Oneida this weekend, but in spirit of everyone doing their part to help contain the disease, we feel this is the best decision at this time.
The Election Board will be holding an Emergency Meeting on March 16th to discuss the next steps for the 2020 election process and what precautions need to be in place to protect the health and well-being of the Oneida citizens. The Election Board will be monitoring the updates on the COVID-19 pandemic and will be working diligently with assistance from Legal Counsel on how to move forward. More information will be shared once those steps are determined.
