(San Rafael) – Today is the last day that former Registrar Elaine Ginnold is seen at Civic Center. The Elections Department has hired Lynda Roberts, who held a similar position in Mono County, as the new Registrar.
“I am very excited for this opportunity. My main priority at this point is to maintain the high standards that Elaine Ginnold set,” Roberts says.
Marin is a county with one of the highest voter participation in California. Under Ginnold’s leadership, the Election Department strengthened community outreach not only among the usual voters but also to non-English speaking voters in the Latino, Vietnamese, and Chinese communities. The outreach also includes providing information to African-American voters in the area.
Roberts says that she plans to continue building and maintaining relationships. “People can contact me directly. I do want to keep that interaction because I think it is important, with the registrar being a link to the community.”
Good luck to Elaine Ginnold, and welcome Lynda Roberts!
