Hi everyone,

As we shared at the January meeting, the DSNC is actively recruiting members, and ensuring we have a consistent and clear list of voting members. All of the people who have applied and been verified so far--you should have just received an email confirmation of voting membership.

If you haven't already, please apply to be a member: https://www.davissquarenc.org/membership

You'll need to go through our verification process, and you can do that at the following ways:

Best,
Elaine

Could we just use the city’s voter registration list for automatic verification?  That seems much simpler and ensures maximum participation with minimal roadblocks.

Unsure of the legalities there, but also, the City’s voter rolls only cover citizens who live in Somerville. DSNC eligibility is much broader than that.

Do the DSNC rules stipulate that you must be a citizen, as distinct from a resident, to vote? Also, does it stipulate Somerville specifically, or are Cambridge residents also eligible.

Curious,
