Standard-Examiner: Meet Candidates for Ogden City Council at Library (Tonight) Wednesday, Oct. 2 - Cancelled

Hopefully you'll be able to work this into your evening calenders

Via the Standard-Examiner, we'll relay an announcement of tonight's 2013 Ogden City Municipal elections event, something that no self respecting Ogden City political wonk will want to miss:

OGDEN  -- The Weber County Democratic Party will host a meet-the-candidates forum for the candidates for Ogden City Council from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 2, at the Weber County Library Main Branch, 2464 Jefferson Ave. in Ogden.
The forum is expected to last two hours, and candidates will be allowed to introduce themselves and will field questions from the audience.

Our apologies for our belated announcement of this important event. Although we'd indirectly caught wind of the scheduling a few days ago, this is the first formal announcement that's popped up anywhere.  Weirdly enough, there was no info at all, even on the Weber County Democratic Party's website, even as recently as this morning.

"Better late than never," we suppose.

Hopefully you'll be able to work this into your evening calenders, despite the "tardiness" of the notice, for which we profusely apologize, although it's REALLY NOT our fault.

Update 10/2/13 7:33 a.m.:  We just received this info from At-Large Seat "B" candidate Courtney White, concerning an email which he received from the Weber County  Democratic Party County Chair:

"Greetings Ogden Municipal Candidate, 
I have the solemn duty of contacting you to give notice that the Weber county Democratic Party’s event scheduled for October 2nd at the Weber County main library will have to be canceled."

 Looks like this "important" event has been called off. Dang!

Update 10/2/13 11:00 a.m.:  We've just received word from Weber County Democratic Party Chairman Ben Pales, confirming that this evening's event has indeed been canceled.

2013 Ogden Municipal Primary Election Reminder: Do Your Duty, Folks!

Voting is not a mandatory civil duty but it is one of the most important ones in which an individual citizen can partake

Breaking news for those WCF readers of you who may have forgotten that tomorrow is Ogden City Primary Municipal Election Day.  Assuming you're registered to vote, and that you haven't already availed yourself of "early voting," you can vote from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. tomorrow at the following Ogden City Council approved voter precinct polling places, as more specifically set forth in this PDF document which we obtained from the Ogden City Recorder's office this morning:

• 2013 Municipal Polling Location List - Ogden

Additionally, and according to the Ogden City Elections webpage you can also "take advantage of three new city-wide vote centers that service all registered voters regardless of their assigned polling location":

• Ogden-Weber Applied Technology College located at 200 Washington Blvd.
• Union Station located at 2501 Wall Ave
• Dee Events Center located at 4450 Harrison Blvd

Alternatively, and if all else fails, you can find your polling location via the vote.ut.gov website:

Yeah, we know.  This primary lacks some of the "excitement" we've witnessed in past Ogden City Municipal elections.  But do your civic duty anyway folks. Voting is not a mandatory civil duty but it is one of the most important ones in which an individual citizen can partake.

Need we say it again?

Do your duty, folks!
