You've heard the presentation by the IRSD Superintendent and other staff members, now voters will decide whether increasing property taxes by 30% is warranted or not.
First, you can use this property tax calculator here to see what your new tax bill will be.
Second, if you choose to appeal the recent tax assessment of your home, you only have until the end of March to do so. Visit the site here: https://sussexcountyde.gov/reassessment
Referendum Poll Watchers Needed
Third, we need YOU, to not only vote on March 20th but ALSO to be a Poll Watcher! For school board referendums, voters do not have to be property owners nor registered voters. They must only show proof of residency in the district, which can be a license, or article of mail. OR if the voter does not have either, the voter may need only "affirm" that they are over 18, a U.S. citizen and a resident of the district, no proof required.
"They affirm that they are a US citizen when signing the pollbook if they are registered to vote and on a paper affidavit if they are not registered and not in the pollbook. In other words, the voters self-affirm that they are a US citizen subject to legal recourse from the DOJ should they be found untruthful." - Sussex Department of Elections.
Poll workers for this referendum are not citizen poll workers, but are rather hired by the Department of Elections. Therefore, without citizen Poll Watchers, there would be no outside observation of this referendum. This IRSD referendum vote is a great opportunity to observe the integrity of our election processes, so please help out if you can. As a Poll Watcher for the last IRSD school board election, yes, we did observe voters who only affirmed their identity and residence without showing proof of either.
There is no required paperwork or authorization for Poll Watchers for the IRSD referendum and there may be five Poll Watchers at a polling location at a time. Your only qualification is to care about our elections and to be curious about the process! PLEASE let me know if you can be an IRSD Referendum Poll Watcher at any of the below poll locations any point during the day. Thank you! Email info@38thdrcp.com if you can be a Poll Watcher!
