Who Can Vote in RKLD Elections?

Who Can Vote in RKLD Elections?


All district resident electors who are U.S. citizens, 18 years of age or older.

This includes resident property owners, renters, children 18 years and older whose residence is in the District…

But not campers to the extent their permanent residence is not within the District.


Ownership of more than one parcel does not entitle a property owner to more than one vote. One eligible voter = one vote.

Non-resident property owners

This includes a person whose name appears on the tax roll, as well as a person who owns title to property even though the person’s name doesn’t appear on the tax roll.

However, it is up to the would-be voter to produce evidence to the District that they are an owner of property or designated representative of an organizational property owner…

i.e. trust, foundation, corporation or other organization

…such as a letter on organization letterhead that clearly authorizes that person to vote on behalf of the organization.
