Alameda County Registrar Takes Marin Position

"Alameda County officials said today that Acting Registrar of Voters Elaine Ginnold has resigned, only a month before the June 6 election, to become the top election official in Marin County.

Ginnold's resignation is effective May 12. She announced her decision to her election staff late Monday.

In a statement, Ginnold said, "This was not an easy decision. But I have been offered the newly-created position of Registrar of Voters in Marin County, which is a great opportunity and an exciting challenge."

Ginnold said she has agreed to take over as Marin County's registrar in time for the June 6 election but "will probably continue to help Alameda County gear-up for the same election on a part-time basis."

The story is here.
