(Ferdie de la Torre)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The Commonwealth Election Commission board certified yesterday the candidacies of 93 candidates vying for 45 positions. <\/p>\n<p>The CEC board did not certify the candidacy of Joana Lyn Camacho as a nonpartisan for the Board of Education Tinian seat for failing to meet the five-year residency requirement.<\/p>\n<p>CEC administrative officer Kayla Igitol said in a later interview that Camacho was notified about the board\u2019s decision.<\/p>\n<p>Igitol said they had also informed Camacho about the issue before yesterday\u2019s board hearing. <\/p>\n<p>Camacho did not appear at the board meeting.<\/p>\n<p>With Camacho out, that means that Tinian has no candidate for the island\u2019s BOE seat. The other Tinian candidate, Jonathan SN. Sablan, withdrew his candidacy a day after he filed his petition.<\/p>\n<p>Igitol said the board also approved the ballot layout for the Nov. 6 general election.<\/p>\n<p>With the board\u2019s approval, Igitol sent the ballot layout to their printer, which is based in Nebraska.<\/p>\n<p>Present at the board meeting were pro-tem chair Jesus I. Sablan, pro-tem vice chair Patricia Mareham, four other commissioners, assistant attorney general Charles Brasington, and CEC staff.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Commonwealth Election Commission board certified yesterday the candidacies of 93 candidates vying for 45&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":23,"featured_media":282410,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[900],"tags":[732,22355,14028,20006],"class_list":["post-282409","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured","tag-cec","tag-joana-lyn-camacho","tag-kayla-igitol","tag-patricia-mareham"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/282409","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/23"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=282409"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/282409\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/282410"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=282409"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=282409"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=282409"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
