The Signal will publish letters and columns related to local elections through Saturday, Oct. 3, one month before Election Day. (Vote drop boxes are scheduled to open on Oct. 6, per the California Secretary of State.) The deadline to submit any letters to the editor about local elections is midni ght on Saturday, Sept. 19. From Oct. 6 through Nov. 3, no letters or columns about local elections will be published, with the exception of The Signal’s own editorials. Local elections subject to this hiatus include school boards, SCV Water Agency, Santa Clarita City Council, state Legislature seats and U.S. Congress. Letters and columns about statewide and national races (ballot measures, gubernatorial election, etc.) will still be published during that span according to The Signal’s usual processes for the opinion page. Any candidates who participate in The Signal’s weekly rotating columns for Democrats and Republicans will skip their normally scheduled appearances during this one-month hiatus. The post Election Letters Deadlines appeared first on Santa Clarita Valley Signal. ...read more read less
