Village Elections Set for This Month

The annual village elections for leadership positions on the boards of CVE Master Management, CenClub, and COOCVE are set for this month, with the first formal step in the process scheduled for early January.

The Meet the Candidates Forum will be held on January 5th from 9:30 a.m. to noon in the Clubhouse Party Room. The forum allows COOCVE Directors to ask questions of candidates seeking office. Under election rules, only COOCVE Directors are permitted to ask questions and vote.

As part of the election process, candidates were invited to submit biographies so residents could learn about their background, experience, and qualifications before casting ballots. According to COOCVE, one candidate did not submit a biographical background. 

A recording of the Candidate Forum will be made available on January 7th on the COOCVE website and on Cable Channel 98. Voting will open on January 8th and continue through January 18th, with election results to be announced on January 20th at the COOCVE Board of Directors meeting.

This year’s elections include a combination of contested races, uncontested seats, and vacancies. For CVE Master Management, three board positions are open, with five candidates running. Three of the candidates are incumbents who currently serve on the CVE Master Management Board of Directors. At CenClub, three seats are up for election with six candidates on the ballotand three incumbents seeking to return. The COOCVE board has seven open positions, though only the presidency is contested, with two candidates running (neither one an incumbent), two other seats will be filled by unchallenged incumbents, and four seats will remain vacant due to a lack of candidates.

The elections are conducted exclusively among COOCVE Directors, consistent with Century Village East’s governance structure.
