UPDATED Proposed amendments to the Neskonlith current Custom Election Regulation

Proposed Amendments
Following feedback received from membership since the last Election, Chief and Council (the “Council”) has started the process to amend the Neskonlith Custom Election Regulation (the “Current CER”) into a new Custom Election and Governance Code. The proposed changes create one unified governing code for Neskonlith to improve and expand upon the Current CER in a way that better incorporates Secwépemc practices, increases the transparency and accountability of Council, encourages more Candidates to run for office, and protects the integrity of each Member’s voting rights.

Electors who are unable to attend the meeting on July 25, 2026, are encouraged to vote by mail. Mailed votes must be received by July 24, 2026.
Request for Feedback Before Vote
