Candidates will be able to campaign in an area near the gate and entryway at Chief Leschi Schools during Saturday’s Tribal Council General Election. A large portion of the school property, including where voters will line up to go into the gym and cast their ballots, was designated as a “No Campaign Zone” by the Tribal Council. (See map).
Pease note traffic should enter to the left and exit the same way. The back gravel road will be closed. Security will help direct people.
Four candidates are running for Tribal Council. Learn more about them in the 2020 Voters Guide.
