Hello neighbors. In January the Village Green Board, seeking to serve both our own community and the larger civic realm, voted to allow political canvassers to engage with the residents in Village Green on behalf of candidates in upcoming elections.
The California primary is on March 5, 2024, with a ballot that includes the U.S. presidential campaign, a rare open seat for the U.S. Senate, and a hotly-contested City Council race.
Canvass activity is subject to several conditions. Canvassers must register in our office, and sign a form indicating that they will adhere to VG rules. They may canvass between 9am and sundown, seven days a week. They are required to wear nameplate stickers the office provides them upon registering, so that they are clearly identified. Finally, they are not allowed to ask residents for monetary contributions.
The Board asks that any resident preferring not to engage with solicitors post some kind of a “Do Not Disturb” sign for their front door. Canvassers will be asked to honor these.
Green Knight Security has been informed of these changes. If you feel that canvassers are engaging in any kind of inappropriate activity, we encourage you to call security.
But we hope you’ll welcome these dedicated individuals to our community. Let’s hope that the new policy provides an avenue for Village Greeners, present and future, to engage in the civic life of our city, our state, and our nation.
